✂️ Instructions for the children’s strawberry costume
1. Cut out the shape of the strawberry
Draw a wide oval shape, adapted to your child’s size, on the red Recycled Felt. You need two identical pieces, one for the front and the other for the back.
The measurements shown in the video correspond to a size of 18 months to 3 years approximately.
3. Leaf neckline
With the Green Recycled Felt, draw and cut out the strawberry leaves. Attach them around the neck of the costume.
2. Add the seeds
Cut out small seeds out of the fusible craft paper and iron them onto the front and back of the costume.
Lastly, attach the front and back with four strips of felt: two for the shoulders and two at the sides, leaving enough room for the arms.
