MINT RABBIT

Send

All children, without exception, love unusual toys created in the image of beautiful fairy-tale characters. These toys bewitchingly entice children on the shelves to themselves. And I had an idea: you can make a wonderful toy yourself - a rabbit, which in some mythological traditions is referred to as “Mint”: it is almost like an ordinary one, it only has wings and its green coat behind.
To make Mint Rabbit, we need:
1. White fabric (for the head);
2. Light green fabric or fur (we used the sleeves of an old fur coat, which were attached to it with eyelets, so it was not cut off and the lower part did not require further development);
3. Black, white and green threads;
4. Needle, scissors;
5. Adhesive tape and glue;
6. Light green paper and cardboard (any color (I used the cover from a common notebook) for the wings;
7. Pencil and compasses (to make it more convenient to draw a circle for the head on the fabric).

I twisted the edges of the sleeve from the fur coat to the center and bent the entire sleeve into a circle, stitching along the edge where both ends meet. The result was a rabbit torso that no longer required filling with cotton - there was fur inside.

Then I took up the paws: from the second sleeve of the same fur coat I cut out the inner fabric, from which, having drawn the models, I made them and ears.

Paws and ears I stuffed with cotton; on the lower ends of the paws, I made three “stitches” with black thread floss to make small “fingers”.

Then on a white cloth I drew two circles with a pair of compasses, - for the head of the rabbit - and cut them out, stepping back from the drawing (since it would be more convenient to sew on it), and almost embroidering them into one, left a small hole through which I turned out the “head” from the inside out.
I made eyes and nose from black and white colored paper, glued them with adhesive tape, and then attached them with glue and pencil to the head, embroidering a mouth on it with thread floss, thus forming a muzzle; then I stuffed the head with cotton bunny.

I sewed the legs to the body.

I sewed ears to the head and head to the body, sewing up the hole left for the cotton wool.

Then she took up her wings: I drew a sample on a bent cardboard sheet, cut it out and made two more copies of these wings on sheets of thin light green paper, gluing everything in one pair (in three layers: first, thin wings, cardboard underneath, and below them, cardboard, and under cardboard - the second layer is thin).

Then I, having sewn the resulting wings to the back of the toy (the cardboard of the notebook was lightly attached to the needle), carefully pasted it with tape.

Here we have it turned out:

From the beads, I wanted to make an attractive jewelry around the neck of a toy. Since the line for the beads breaks too quickly, I replaced it with ordinary threads:
