- Sew the doughnut shell onto the body of the snail.
- For the doughnut decoration, create small stitches (1-2 cm) using different yarn colors to simulate sprinkles.
Shell Assembly:
Thread a needle through the loops at the end and beginning of the doughnut (the first 12 chain stitches). Sew in a circle while stuffing the doughnut with toy filler. Secure the work tightly.
