FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?
It is suitable for older children, but adult supervision is strongly recommended because the kit contains a sharp sewing needle.
Do I need to provide my own scissors?
Yes, standard scissors are not included in the kit and will be needed to cut the thread.
What material is the Easter Friend made of?
The kit includes high-quality felt sheets and cotton thread.
Can I wash the finished plushie in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the felt and the structural stitching.
How long does it take to assemble?
Depending on the user's sewing experience, assembly typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Needle is difficult to thread.
Trim the end of the cotton thread at a sharp angle or use a needle threader tool to pull the loop through the eye.
The seam looks uneven.
Try to maintain a consistent distance from the edge of the felt and use even, steady pressure when pulling the thread through.
Stuffing is bunching up inside.
Use a pencil or the blunt end of a tool to push small amounts of stuffing into the corners before closing the final seam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, open the packaging and verify all components are present: felt, thread, needle, and stuffing. Follow the enclosed manual sequentially. Once assembled, treat the finished plushie as a delicate craft item; it is not intended for rough play. If the plushie becomes dusty, gently spot-clean it with a slightly damp cloth rather than submerging it in water, as excessive moisture may damage the felt and the integrity of the seams.
