Free Beading Pattern: Easter Bunny
Posted by EriIt’s Easter time. It’s springtime. It’s a wonderful time of year!
So if you’re feeling in the mood for some fun beading, I created a free beading pattern video which shows you how to make a cute bunny face.
I haven’t figured out yet what I will do with mine… try to make it into a necklace pendant? a bead ring? I don’t know!
It’s kind of cute all by itself, but I’ll have to figure out some way to wear it and show it off.
If you come up with some ideas please post them in the comments section, and better yet, if you create something you want to share with others, provide links to your creative work for all to see!
Here is the video.
Bunny Face Beading Video
To create the bunny face you need these materials:
4mm 5301 Swarovski crystal bicone beads, pink color x 45
4mm 5301 Swarovski crystal bicone beads, white color x 4
4mm Swarovski pearl, black color x 2
3mm Swarovski pearl, black color x 1
Size 11 Seed Beads, pink color x 2
0.24mm Monofilament String x 28 inches
Flush Cutter
I hope you enjoy making the bunny face, and please get back with me to let me know how it turned out for you.
Also, if the shape of the cross is an important image for you at this time of year I have a beautiful beaded cross pattern that I think you will like.
Here’s a picture of the finished piece: Crystal Bead Cross Pendant

Happy beading and Happy Easter!

Hi Eri,
I enjoyed the bunny pattern, and found that threading a silver chain in one ear and out the other created the best pivot point for the bunny. He has a really cute face!

Hi Eri,
I just made the rabbit using pearls and he is just too cute! I used white cats eye beads for the nose. Thank you so much.

That’s a great idea to use pearls! I’m going to give that a try myself and see how it turns out. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks Eri, for this great project, everyone just loves this bunny face. I found that by adding a jump ring to one of the ears makes it much easier to wear as a pendant. Thanks again

Laura,
I’m glad you enjoyed making the bunny and the swarovski crystal puffy heart. It sounds like you were very patient with the puffy heart which is half the battle.
