{"product_id":"sew-your-own-lion-felt-craft-kit","title":"Sew Your Own Lion Felt Craft Kit","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sew your own lion craft kit brings together the felt pieces, stuffing and threads to stitch a friendly lion by hand. He has a sunny yellow body, a bright orange mane cut into a ring of fringed rays, round eyes, rosy cheeks and a blue felt jumper with stitched stripes, finished with a long tail tipped in orange. Inside the round printed tube you will find the shaped felt pieces, soft polyester stuffing, cotton threads in several colours and a plastic needle, along with an illustrated sheet of step by step instructions. Once sewn and stuffed, the finished lion measures about 21cm from top to toe and 10cm across, a good size to hold in one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think it makes a lovely project for a rainy afternoon at the kitchen table or a quiet hour away from screens. Each felt piece has small holes ready around its edge to guide the needle, and the instructions walk through threading, starting a stitch and tying off neatly, so it is a straightforward place to begin learning simple hand sewing. When he is finished, the lion settles happily on a bookshelf, a bedside table or a windowsill, adding a cheerful splash of yellow and orange to a bedroom or playroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pieces are joined along their edges with the cotton thread, then filled with the polyester stuffing before the last seam is closed, so you can make the lion as plump as you like. The mane and jumper are layered on in felt for a bright, textured finish. To keep him looking fresh, dust him gently with a soft dry cloth and dab any marks with a slightly damp cloth rather than washing. The tube keeps every piece together until you are ready to sew, and it makes the kit a cheerful present that needs little more than a ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit pieces: felt; stuffing: polyester; threads: cotton; needle: plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.017KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarning!
