Today's post looks at paper piecing. A fun technique and great to do with children as it is very economical. To make the Bunny I used a heart punch, hole punch and tiny flower punch. Cut 3 of the hearts in half and assemble as shown in picture. To make it easier for children you can draw a template around a bunny you have made for them to copy. If you draw your template on transparency it wont stick as they glue it.
I also drew stitch lines around outside of bunny as it defines the shape and makes it stand out more.

Don't forget to log in tomorrow to see what you can use this technique for and how you can develop this idea.
