To enable the bunny to stand, after finishing stuffing you will need to 4. They can learn to do tricks with
use the yarn tail as follows: clicker training
Thread the yarn in a needle, insert the needle down through the
body and through the bottom of the body just next to the Magic
Ring (MR).
Reinsert the needle through the MR centre and through the body,
pulling the MR slightly up towards the neck until the bottom is
indented (see photos below). Keeping tension, insert the needle
through the MR centre again then back up towards the neck.
Knot the thread into the side of the neck to anchor the bottom of
