Go forth and make BUNNEHS!

I finished the dozen of rainbow peeps right under the wire for last week's weekly challenge (finished 2 minutes before the deadline and scored a total of 105 points for Slytherin!!!), so what does mooseinakilt do? She posts another challenge! "Mrs. Norris has been petrified and Filch is lost without her! Even though he can be a right pain in the bum, seeing his sad face is just too much to bear. That and someone let off about 20 dungbombs on the third floor and they're not going to clean themselves! I've only managed to find one thing to cheer him up: bunnies - caught him looking at my pet rabbit the other day, the softie. So, in the spirit of spring and to get Filch our of this funk, we're going to need a lot of bunnies..."

After spending last week with my peeps, it only made sense to make some marshmallow bunnies to match! And since I couldn't find a pattern I liked I just had to make one and share it with everyone!
