instruction
1. Draw a star template on paper and cut it out.
2. Place the star template on the yellow fabric and outline it with a pencil.
3. Cut out the star. Make sure that there is at least 1 cm distance to the pencil drawing. Later the pencil drawing is the seam and this needs additional fabric, otherwise the two pieces of fabric will separate again after sewing.
4. Create an identical second yellow fabric and lay both pieces on top of each other.
5. Sew the two fabrics together, leaving a little free on one prong.
6. Turn the fabric inside out, so that the seams are no longer visible. Fill the star with cotton wool or cushion contents.
7. Sew a green leaf. This is done in the same way as the star shape.
8. When this leaf is ready, put it in the gap and sew everything closed.
Your Paopu Fruit is ready.
