FO, leaving a tail for sewing. Attach to the sides of the body, angled forward.
Tail (pompom style)
Instead of crocheting, make a fluffy pompom tail:
- Cut a piece of cardboard about 2 inches wide.
- Wrap white yarn around the cardboard 50–70 times (more wraps = fluffier).
- Slide yarn bundle off the cardboard.
- Tie a separate piece of yarn tightly around the center.
- Cut loops open and trim into a round ball.
- Sew or hot glue securely to the back of the bunny’s body.
👉 This gives the rabbit the exact fluffy pompom tail seen in the photo.
🧵 Assembly
- Attach the head to the body.
- Sew the ears on top of the head.
- Position the arms so they meet around the towel roll before sewing securely in place.
- Attach the legs at the bottom for a seated pose.
- Add the fluffy tail to the back.
- Embroider eyebrows above the eyes for extra character.
🌟 Final Touches
- Test-fit the towel roll while positioning the arms to make sure they hug snugly.
- Gently bend the wire inside the arms until they hold the roll firmly.
- Add a little blush to the cheeks with fabric paint or pastel for extra cuteness.
🎉 Your bunny towel roll holder is ready!
You now have a handmade rabbit that brings warmth, charm, and functionality to your home. It’s the perfect blend of amigurumi cuteness and everyday usefulness — and a great gift idea too!
