Okay, hear me out—a bunny butt pillow. At first, I laughed. Out loud. Then I bookmarked it. And now? I’m completely smitten. I recently stumbled across this too-cute-to-handle Easter Bunny Butt Pillow Pattern from Kullaloo and I just had to give it a try.

I mean, come on. A fluffy little bunny backside, complete with perky paws and an oversized pom-pom tail? It’s basically Easter décor with a sense of humor—and honestly, I’m here for it.

The PDF pattern is super clear and well thought out. Kullaloo really nailed the instructions—they’ve broken everything down into bite-sized, beginner-friendly steps, which makes it totally doable even if you’re not a sewing pro. Plus, it comes with printable templates, so no need to freehand those paws (phew).

They recommend using super soft plush fabric, and let me tell you—don’t skip on the fluff factor. It makes all the difference. I went with a minky fleece, and the final result was so squishy and adorable, I almost didn’t want to give it away (I ended up making two… problem solved).

This project isn’t one of those “takes all weekend and steals your soul” crafts. I had it cut, sewn, and stuffed in an afternoon. Add an episode or two of your favorite show and a coffee, and you’ve got yourself a cozy little crafting session with a hilarious end result.

Easter crafts can sometimes veer into the predictable—eggs, pastels, chicks, rinse and repeat. This bunny butt pillow? It stands out. It’s fun, a little cheeky (pun intended), and actually looks great propped up on the couch or in a kid’s room.

Also, kids love it. Pets love it. Guests ask about it. And if you’re giving handmade gifts this season? Wrap one of these up and you’ll 100% be the star of Easter brunch.

I just made 3 mermaid tail blankets for my older granddaughters, they are great, thank you for the free pattern, fabric measurements to purchase & great instructions. My question is, I would love to make some for my great nieces but they are all children, do you have the same pattern for children anywhere or could I reduce the pattern pieces to print to about 60% and would that work? I can figure the fabric amount after I cut the pattern pieces. Thank you so much
