Loved this I used pastel colours aqua, lilac and pink and put a 3D printed unicorn horn on its head and a Royal Mail bag for its postbox topper debut absolutely loved this one.
LOVE The 3D printed addition! Thanks for submitting the first pic!
what kind of stuffing do you use
I used polyfil stuffing you can get it on Amazon or in most craft/yarn stores – some people use cheap cushion pads or pillow inserts – it depends on the purpose I use the polyfil because it has the safety certificates to conform with UKCA/CE rules because I gift some of my makes to children so I like it to be safe.
