Can’t wait to carve my own turtle.
Omg tht looks so cute I would love too do this 🙂
Looking forward to giving this a try! 🐢
I see two whole pictures. You really needed to do the step-by-step with pictures for every step of the way. It’s a really cute turtle. It would’ve been great to have tried to have made this with my granddaughters, but I would have to make it myself first and learn how to do it and take my own pictures and then guide them in making the turtle.
