Bunny Treat Bags Free Tutorial
I followed the Bunny Treat bag tutorial from SewCanShe.com blog here and whipped up a half-dozen in a short afternoon. I did use a trick to eliminate the buttonhole and talk about that below. The bag portion is about the size of your palm. The bags will stand at attention when filled with loose/packaged candy and a few small things.
For more Easter project ideas see my Pinterest board Spring Holiday Crafts.
Supplies To Make One Bunny Treat Bag
Each bag uses four 5″ fabric squares and one piece of ribbon approximately 16″ long.

Skip The Button Hole With This Trick
I confess – I cheated. The project calls for making a buttonhole opening for the drawstring ribbon. Instead, fuse a 1/2″ x 1″ piece of my Sew Lazy Face It Soft interfacing behind where the buttonhole would go. Use a seam ripper to cut an opening 3/8″ where the buttonhole opening should be. The interfacing will hold up well enough for the Bunny Treat Bag’s purpose.
Tool Recommendation For Bag Construction
I used my Point 2 Point Turner from my Clover Press Perfect line for all the point turning and for pushing the seams out after turning the bags. A point turner will make the job go faster and have great results.
Additional Ideas for Bunny Treat Bags
This is a quick and easy project with lots of opportunities to personalize and embellish.
- Use plain fabric and add a nose and whiskers to the front.
- Add a pompom to the back for a cottontail.
- Use theme fabric to make bags for other occasions.

If making the bunny bags a wee bit bigger, like using 7 inch squares instead of the 5 inch squares, the closeable sandwich bags will fit in them for jelly beans and the like so they don’t mess up the fabric and can be used over and over again….

Rather than trace around the templates, make your templates out of freezer paper, Put your 2 pieces of fabric RST, press the templates on, and sew around the edges. Then press with warm iron to remove them. You can use the template many times, and saves time.
Made these for Easter Craft sale at church and filled them with Easter candy—–my friends thought they are really cute. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you! I will be making these tonight for all my mummy friends.
What line of fabric did you use to make these? It’s so cute.
Everything works just fine with the link and the pattern is downloaded for trying if I can find a few moments of sewing-time…
Thank you for the great tips!
Best wishes,

These are just adorable and so sweet in the bright fabrics!! 🙂
Love those bunny ear bags ..tricia
I made about 30 of these for the Easter of 2018, planning to give to my friends at a luncheon I’m having next week, as well as my bowling team and lastly, Easter dinner for my two children and their spouses on April 1st.
My candy supply is ready and I will photograph them when I fill them and would be happy to share with you.
