Notes

Add a Personalized Touch: Use different fabric patterns or colors to create bunnies for different occasions.
Secure the Pom Pom: Double-stitch the pom pom to ensure it stays in place, especially if gifting to young children.
Create a Lavender Sachet: Add dried lavender to the stuffing for a fragrant and calming bunny.
