Soft sculptures made to look like chocolates, and embellished with hand embroidery and beading to create inviting surfaces. Set off in a chocolate box you will have to stop your friends from eating them.

- Padded sticky fixers
- Fabric and Threads:
- Fabric in chocolate colours such as dark and medium brown and cream. Plain cotton, calico and polyester fabrics are suitable.
- Matching sewing thread
- Beads – brown, black, pink and tiny pearls
- Toy stuffing
- Hand embroidery thread such as stranded cotton in brown, cream and pink
Tools:
- 45 mm yo yo maker by Clover, if you have one, or something to draw a circle of the same
- size (compass and pencil)
- Sheet of A4 paper
- Hand sewing, embroidery and beading needles
- Scissors for cutting fabric and threads
- Book of embroidery stitches
