Introduction
Welcome to Friday Fun Day with Sarah! In today's project, we will be making adorable chickie and bunny magnets. These magnets feature the cute behinds of bunnies and chicks, making them a fun and whimsical addition to your refrigerator or as place markers. They are easy to make and can be created using leftover yarn scraps. So let's dive in and get creative!
Materials Needed
To make these chickie and bunny butt magnets, you will need the following materials:
- Medium weight yarn (number four) in any color of your choice
- Crochet hook (size H, 5.0mm)
- Needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Magnetic strips for attaching to the back of the magnets (optional)
- Hot glue or E6000 adhesive (if using magnetic strips)
Making the Bunny Butt
To start, we will create the bunny butt. Begin by making a slip knot with your pink yarn and chain two. In the second chain from the hook, stitch eight single crochets. Join to the first single crochet with a slip stitch. Cut off the pink yarn and attach the darker pink yarn. Chain one and stitch two half double crochets in each single crochet. Join to the first half double crochet with a slip stitch. This completes the body of the bunny butt.
Making the Chick Butt
The process for creating the chick butt is identical to the bunny butt. Using white yarn, repeat the same steps as mentioned for the bunny butt. Once you have completed both the bunny butt and the chick butt, it's time to move on to the next step.
Adding the Bunny Ears
To give the bunny butt its adorable ears, chain nine and slip stitch in the same stitch. Repeat this process once more to create the second ear. Cut the yarn, tie it off, and weave in the ends. Tilt the bunny ears slightly sideways for a cute and playful look.
Adding the Chick Head
For the top of the chick's head, chain six and slip stitch in the same stitch. Repeat this process two more times to create a total of three tufts on the chick's head. Tie off the yarn and weave in the ends. Make sure to close any holes in the center of the tufts to ensure a neat appearance.
Attaching the Bunny Feet
To add the bunny feet, join the yarn to the twelfth stitch on one side of the bunny butt. Chain three and slip stitch in the same stitch. Slip stitch in the next three stitches, then chain three and slip stitch in the same stitch. Cut the yarn, tie it off, and weave in the ends. Repeat this process on the other side of the bunny butt.
Attaching the Chick Feet
Similarly, to attach the chick feet, join the yarn to the tenth stitch on one side of the chick butt. Chain three and slip stitch in the same stitch. Slip stitch in the next stitch once, then chain three and slip stitch in the same stitch. Cut the yarn, tie it off, and weave in the ends. Repeat this process on the other side of the chick butt.
Adding the Magnets
If you wish to make your magnets functional, you can attach magnetic strips to the back of each chickie and bunny butt. Simply cut the magnetic strips into small squares and use hot glue or E6000 adhesive to secure them onto the back of the crochet pieces. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the magnets.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own adorable chickie and bunny butt magnets. These fun and silly creations can be used as decorations, place markers, or simply for a good laugh. Feel free to experiment with different colors and personalize them to your liking. Enjoy displaying them on your refrigerator or share them with friends and family. Let's embrace a little silliness and bring some joy into our lives!
