Learn how to Punch Needle with me! Punch Needle is a super cute craft where you can make adorable fluffy designs~ For my final project I made a Totoro Tote (or as I like to call it, a TOTE-oro) and I was really happy with how it turned out!
I learned a LOT about how to improve my Punch Needle technique, so hopefully if you decide to learn the craft, you can learn from some of my mistakes haha.
PS I hope that some of y'all recognized that the sprout emoji in the title is reference to Totoro's leaf umbrella hehe. Leave a comment if you did 😂
