We had plenty of materials, and the tutorial video was super clear and detailed. It’s pretty doable overall—there are quite a few steps, but it’s not complicated. Even people who aren’t good at crafts can nail it if they take their time, and it’s so cute! Non-woven fabric feels so much nicer than cardstock!
