Bunny Booty Bunting is a great way to decorate with a giggle for the Easter season. It’s adorable and fun and can be made as long or short as you like. The bunnies are crocheted in one piece (other than the pom pom tail). They are then joined onto the crochet ribbon as it’s made. This project is a great way to use up leftover yarn from other projects if you aren’t able to get the suggested yarn. 🙂
