Tip: keep checking the pieces to make sure the bottom edge of the grass stays straight.
With a yarn needle and yarn to match the middle bunny, sew the edges of the middle bunny to the outer bunnies. This will help the piece stay straight.
“APRIL” Tiles
Follow instructions from the main “snappy organizer” pattern to make the tiles for this month.
Assembly
- Attach the tiles to the calendar with brads or desired items.
- Snaps: Center the bunnies over the snaps already sewn to the organizer to find placement. Sew two coordinating snap pieces to the back of the bunnies so they line up with the snaps on the organizer.
