DIRECTIONS:

1. Add water to each of the dye bottles you'll be using, replace caps and shake to mix.
2. Once dyes are mixed, pour each color into its own disposable cup.
3. If your socks are brand new, you'll want to wash them before dyeing (without fabric softener). Either way, make sure your socks are damp before dyeing.
4. Crumple up your socks and place one into each dye color.
5. You can even use a rubber band to bind the crumpled sock before placing in the dye, for an added crumple dye effect.
6. Once the socks have soaked in the dye for a while, wearing gloves, wring out the socks and place on a plastic-covered surface.
7. Cover the socks with plastic and let set overnight for the dye to fully process.
8. Once the socks have finished processing, rinse thoroughly and wash and dry according to dye instructions. Stuff each sock with Polyfil.
9. Tie a strand of embroidery string tightly around the halfway point of each sock to create the body and the head. Tie another just above the "head" at the base of the leg portion of the sock to create the section for ears.
10. Cut top portion of socks in a V shape to create ears.
11. Use white Dimensional Paint to create a face and whiskers on each bunny sock.
12. Let bunny socks dry flat for several hours until paint has completely dried.
