1. Cut a circular piece of fabric with a diameter of 8 inches for the body, and cut out 4 pieces of fabric with a length of about 4 inches to make the bunny ears, with the widest part about 2 inches. Also cut out 2 pieces of felt fabric for the ears and 1 piece of positioning felt for the face. The ear positioning fabric is 0.5 inches long, and the face positioning fabric is a small oval, 2 inches long and 0.5 inches wide.
