Easter Bunnies Free Cross-Stitch Pattern

March 17, 2023 by Sarah White

Decorate your home for Easter with these cute little bunnies – you can use plastic canvas to turn them into charms, keychain pendants or even fridge magnets!

The free pattern designed by Nadezda Gavrilenkova uses the DMC color palette, the recommended canvas count being 14. A single bunny is 18 by 36 stitches, or about 1.4 by 2.8 inches. The patterns are mostly whole cross stitches, with backstitching used for facial features and to outline the bunnies.

You can stitch them on regular canvas and cut them out, or use plastic canvas for a bit more durability. On regular canvas you could make them into little ornaments for an Easter tree, patches to wear on a jacket, or stick a magnet to the back.

The plastic canvas version would be great as a keychain or a magnet, or if your kid loves backpack bling as much as mine does, make it into a pin or add a hook so they can attach it to their backpacks.

You could also just stitch it on regular canvas and not cut it out for a cute mini frame project. Or stitch a bunch with different patterns and frame them together!

The pattern is available as a free download from Wizardi.

Make Your Cross Stitch into an Iron On Patch

A while back I made a little rainbow cross stitch pattern and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it, so I turned it into a patch. My idea was that it could be used on a jacket or backpack, or you could add a pin to the back and wear it temporarily on a shirt or elsewhere. 

But what if you want to make your design more permanent? Is it possible to turn a piece of cross stitch into an iron-on design?

It turns out yes, it is, and Sirious Stitches has done it so I didn’t have to try to figure it out on my own. 

The way they did it was by using HeatnBond, an iron-on adhesive that attaches fabrics without sewing. There was still sewing involved to finish the edges of the cross stitch fabric and make it look like a purchased patch. The post shows how to do this by hand or with your sewing machine. (I just did blanket stitch edging on mine, which doesn’t look like a “real” patch but is also a lot faster.)

Once you have the patch prepared it’s a pretty easy matter of using the fusible adhesive to the back of the patch so you can then iron it onto whatever jacket, pair of jeans, bag or whatever else you might want to add it to. 

I guess I’m a little paranoid about the washability of cross stitch projects, though you could hand wash anything with an iron-on cross stitch patch as you might need to with a purchased iron-on patch, anyway. But this does look really cool and is a great option if you know you want to permanently add a cross stitch patch to a garment of bag. 

Get the full tutorial over at Sirious Stitches. Would you add an iron-on cross stitch patch to something? I’d love to hear what you would use this technique for!
