Materials Needed:

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
Start by laying out all of your materials in a clean and well-lit workspace. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the felt pieces and instructions in the kit. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin.
Step 2: Cutting and Stitching
Use your scissors to carefully cut out the felt pieces as instructed in the kit. Take your time and make sure to cut along the lines as accurately as possible. Once you have all of your pieces cut out, start stitching them together using the embroidery floss and needle provided. Follow the instructions in the kit for guidance on which stitches to use for each piece.
Step 3: Stuffing and Assembling
After you have stitched all of the pieces together, it's time to stuff your toadstool. Use the stuffing provided in the kit to fill the toadstool, making sure to evenly distribute it for a smooth and round shape. Once your toadstool is fully stuffed, carefully close up any remaining seams with your needle and thread.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
To add a bit of extra flair to your toadstool, you can use a hot glue gun to attach any additional embellishments provided in the kit or create your own. Get creative and make your toadstool truly unique!
