Step 1
Start by cutting one of your 5" circles in half to make two semi circles.
Step 2
Sew a running stitch on one of the half circles for strawberry seeds and fold your piece in half and sew the ends together making a cone shape.
Step 3
Turn your piece right side out and sew a running stitch around the entire top of your strawberry. Leave an opening at the top to add Polyfill and then pull your thread closing the strawberry off.
Step 4
Glue your Julia leaf to the top of the strawberry covering the top opening.
Sew a french knot in to the center of the Itsy Bitzy flower and glue it to the top of the strawberry for a sweet finish.
If you would like a strawberry ornament, cut a slit in center of Julia flower and slide a 5” piece of ribbon into hole before gluing to strawberry.
