Guide to Maileg: Part One - The Bunny

Welcome to the world of Maileg

The most enchanting bunnies, matchbox mice, woodland creatures, playthings, accessories and seasonal decor await your discovery.

Sisters Guild is one of the biggest stockists of Maileg online internationally and in the UK. It comes from falling in love many moons ago with all the bunny rabbits and their wonderful world.

Here's Part One of the Guide to all things Maileg

The Maileg Bunny

The first Bunny Rabbits from Maileg arrived already named - there was Emily, Christina, Viola...
Now they arrive all innocent in their knitted or floral underwear ready to be named, dressed and adored and taken on many adventures by you! 

The Maileg Bunnies are made of linen fabric in a light or dark brown.  They have long dangly legs and arms and some have floppy ears others tall ears - altogether endearing and all the better for loving. 

Now for the SIZES OF MAILEG BUNNIES
We can finally make this one a bit clearer!

The Maileg Bunnies used to be named baby, small, medium, and then X, XL, XXL.....but now the designs are categorised as follows:

MICRO, MINI, MEDIUM, MAXI, MEGA, MEGA-MAXI

These pics will help you decipher and choose your bunny size.

Measurements of Maileg bunnies: from tips of ears to toes depending on floppy or tall ears

Micro 13cm floppy ears - 16cm  tall pointy ears

Mini 23cm floppy ears - 26cm  tall pointy ears

Medium 46cm floppy ears - 50cm  tall pointy ears

Maxi 53cm floppy ears - 67cm  tall pointy ears

Mega 72cm floppy ears - 80cm  tall pointy ears

Mega-Maxi 86cm floppy ears - 104cm  tall pointy ears

There are also special Bunnies each season including Royal Bunnies & Angels 

The Bunny Wardrobe

So, what do they wear, these bunnies?  As well as making your own wonderful clothes or delving into your dolls wardrobe, Maileg have created many outfits to choose from, for each season. 
There's shoes and bags and this summer there's a Yoga set too.  The Maileg Bunnies do have an inspiring lifestyle! 

And what about the BUNNY HOME?
The Maileg Bunnies have wardrobes, ironing boards, clothes racks and washing lines.
There's cupboards, tables and chairs, benches, highchairs, prams and pottys.
A stove, a cradle, a nursery bed and a scooter coming soon too!

The Maileg furniture is suitable for the smallest bunny rabbits: the Maileg micro and mini bunnies, and some larger pieces for the Medium Rabbits.

Part Two of our guide will explore the Bunny Home in more detail.

Monday Makery - Miniature Circus

Roll Up! roll Up! Watch the daring death defying mice jump through the ring of fire!

Celebrating all things circus the girls have asked me to create something for the Maileg mice whilst they await the arrival of their circus tent and circus troupe.
A little rummage around in our crafts cupboard found some wooden cotton reels, pipe cleaners and red felt to create a ring of fire for the most daring of mice.

Here's what you'll need:

• a pipe cleaner
• cotton reel
• red felt
• colouring pens or paints
• fabric glue
• scissors

Here's how:

1. Cut a strip of felt 3cm smaller than the length of your pipe cleaner and about 5cm wide
2. Using fabric glue, glue the pipe cleaner to the felt so that it sits in the centre and has 1.5cm free at either end, fold over the felt and press firmly
3. Now cut into the fabric to create very rough triangles of various sizes to give a flaming appearance.
4. Decorate your cotton reel.
5. Bend the flaming pipe cleaner into a hoop shape and push the two ends together inside the hole of the cotton reel.

you're now ready to perform your daring ring of fire act.

Happy Making!

Beautiful Play

Sometimes children's toys can be so beautiful they become an intrinsic part of the interior design despite it being by complete chance. Oh how we love the wonderful creations of Danish brand Maileg. Their instantly recognisable colours typical of Scandinavian design, the clean and simple lines, the immediate desire to hold and play. This is the magic of wonderfully, thoughtfully created toys.

Our collection of Maileg pieces is the biggest collection under one roof you'll find anywhere and this season we have lots of new designs about to added to the range. 

The new bunnies this season will arrive in their pretty underwear and with an extensive range of clothing to fit each and every one you can decide on their wardrobe choices. There's a new height of bunny being added to the collection too.

We've made sure we have lots of the bunnies and rabbits as you already know them too, because we know how much they are adored and how difficult they are be to find. 

To make sure you hear about the new collection as soon as they arrive sign up below

With the biggest online collection of Maileg there are mother mice, brother mice, daddy mice, sisters mice, ballerina mice, cowboy mice, clown mice, Red Indian mice and perhaps even a you mouse!

Tuck them up in a soft bed in their little matchbox , make them a home in their milk carton house,  introduce them into your world but watch out some of them can be pretty cheeky..... you'll need to be careful near the biscuits!

These little childhood companions are busy little adventurous creatures, scurrying around in their pretty clothes they live a wonderful life and make fantastic friends.

They love to travel too and delight in sleeping under the stars in their very own Tepee.
