I have books full of patterns for bags and clothes, magazines with jewellery ideas and a million plans for furniture that needs to be restored… So what craft project do turn my hand to this weekend? A rabbit bed.
Don’t ask why. I had planned to alter some clothes after the great wardrobe cull last weekend but all I wanted to do was make a bed for Murphy, our house rabbit.
No newly-learned skill went into this project, just machine and hand sewing and a smidgen of embroidery. The little appliqued bunnies are, however, ‘Ecospun’ felt which is made from recycled plastic bottles. I bought mine from an online shop called Craft Felt UK but unfortunately this no longer seems to exist and I can’t find any other shops that sell the eco felt here in the UK. A quick search on Google gives results for shops in the US though so all is not lost. It seems our crafty friends in the States are putting us to shame when it comes to green fabrics.
Anyway, here are some cute pics of Murphy with his new bed just for the hell of it….
I think Murphy is being spoilt :-) lucky bunny!
He is being spoilt! My pair won’t entertain the idea of sitting or even going near anything that was meant for them, but a cardboard box is always Boo’s top thing to sit on, or in, if she can wedge her back end in it! The bunny bed is lovely though – could do with one for under my desk here! x
