How to make hanging sachet bags?

Step 1: sew the elephant pattern

1st, cut out a rounded rectangle from red felt measuring 16*6cm, an small elephant shape and a two linked heart shapes from pink felt;
2nd, fold the red felt in half and arrange the elephant shape at one side in place;
3rd, secure the elephant shape with overcast stitch along its edge using red thread;
4th, cut out a small heart shape from red felt and glue it on the elephant. Sew some decorative stitches around the heart shape and sew the tail of the elephant. Use black thread to sew a reversed arch over the elephant.

Step 2: make hanging rope

1st, fold the linked heart shapes and blanket stitch the edge with red thread leaving a small opening;
2nd, stuff the heart shape through the opening;
3rd, sew the opening with inserting both ends of an appropriately long nylon thread;
4th, secure the nylon thread by sewing.

Step 3: sew the sachet bag

1st, thread a round wood bead and an oval wood bead through the other end of the nylon thread;
2nd, fold the rounded rectangular felt in half and blanket stitch along the edge;
3rd, when you get to the top, sew the end of the nylon thread between the rounded rectangular felt. Continue sewing and leave an opening for stuffing. The stuffing can be quilting or flowers you like;
