Cut out the bunny pattern and pin it to the fabric, then cut it out. <br /><b>2.</b> <i>Now, make your banner:</i> Cut the burlap and the broadcloth to the same size. Stitch them together  on three sides (the two long sides and one of the short sides, leaving the top open). Clip the two corners.<br /><b>3.</b> Turn the banner right side out and press, then topstitch.<br /><b>4.</b> Your banner will now look like this, having been sewn and top stitched on three sides and left open at the top. Now remove the paper backing from the bunny, pin in place and then press according to package directions. This will give your bunny extra body and hold it in place while you top-stitch it to the banner. I used a zig-zag stitch for that.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicWXCucdTOBqf5f9melN_gPtwWON63PzqY0rQ6qqePlVyJ6IYa3VYB57tp8Rt5BNJsFLfxJxMbbiiVhgfoQCJ3StXOcxPcp0ZGnAHTRAmIm4hUtBngrsMrm2TuvunAh-brVUTtz6cl53WJ/s1600-h/HappyEaster5.jpg"><img alt="Happy Easter" border="0" height="606" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif0Y-FPlAaQRm6DQS4ozzPq1XBIZTAto3oGtfKJ-KnxhU-VntRjimT0fAgsueel47vcDHZ64ibEnsML48rEkJA6vlfy4IrvbEAzea5lGKfLtbmijqEpyuiDonk63zUnBxzYbsI_D5aAdRf/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Happy Easter" width="605" /></a>Now you will add the wording.
