Position them at bottom of bunny. Match up sts, and pin legs in place.















Stuff body.















Starting in back, between legs, working right to left, connecting the body and legs together.
Round 1: working on inside loops only, matching up stitches.(You could also sew this closed around if you find it easier/to your preference).













Ss into inside loops to join new yarn. Ss in ea inside loop around. Ss to join. Fasten Off, leaving a tail.
Using a needle and tail sew in between legs closed, neatly. Hide all ends inside bunny!















I then decided to add some sparkly 3D paint to the ears, cheeks, and a heart on the chest.















I later removed the heart(carefully) and replaced it with a white felt heart. I also beaded a string and tied it around the neck.
