- Place your leaf template on white felt and cut out the necessary shapes.
- Secure the white felt leaves to the red dress or skirt using fabric adhesive or a hot glue gun.
- If making the hula outfit, affix green felt leaves to a green skirt, or simply wear a ready-made leaf skirt.
- Craft a leaf crown by bending pipe cleaners and attaching green felt, or buy one pre-assembled.
- Begin the Stitch ensemble by selecting a blue base garment like a onesie, pajama set, or sleeper gown.
- Cut a light blue oval from felt and attach it to the front of the blue outfit to represent Stitch's belly.
- Cut Stitch's ears from stiff blue and purple felt using your template, then fasten them to a small headband or blue baby hat.
