Project ideas: 

Brooch: Add a brooch pin to the back  of the head and attach it to your jacket, jumper or bag.

Embellishment: Stitch it to a hat, beanie, scarf, blanket or cushion for a fun embellishment.

Garland: Make a whole family of Bunny heads and thread them through the tops of their ears onto a long ribbon/string for a seasonal garland.

Sweet treat gift idea:  Make two heads, stitch them together from the outer edge of the left ear around to the outer edge of the right ear - this leaves the top ear section open.  Hide a cream egg inside for a sweet gift idea.
