Handmade accessories are always special—especially when they’re made with love and creativity! In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to create an adorable kindergarten backpack using Sensy’s Softee Raffia yarn and a bag base. This project is fun, practical, and perfect for little ones.

🧶 Materials You’ll Need

• Sensy’s Softee Raffia yarn

• Bag base (for structure and durability)

• Crochet hook (size suitable for raffia yarn)

• Needle for sewing details

• Black and white yarn (for eyes)

• Brown or beige yarn (for nose)

• Scissors

✨ Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Start by attaching the Softee Raffia yarn to the bag base. This gives your backpack a sturdy foundation and ensures it will hold its shape.

Step 2: Work with Tight Stitches

Continue crocheting in tight stitches around the base. This technique is important for both durability and a neat finish. Keep building upward until you reach the desired height for your backpack.

Step 3: Create the Flap

Once the body is complete, crochet a flap that will serve as the backpack’s closure. You can keep it simple, or shape it slightly rounded for a playful look.

Step 4: Make the Lion’s Head

Now for the fun part—the lion face design!

• Crochet a circular piece for the lion’s head.

• Add a smaller piece in a contrasting color for the nose.

• Crochet two small circles in black and white for the eyes.

Step 5: Assemble the Details

Attach the lion’s head to the flap of the backpack. Then carefully sew on the eyes and nose. Adjust positioning to give your little lion a cute, friendly expression.

Step 6: Finish the Backpack

Add straps to the back, making sure they are secure and comfortable for little shoulders. Check all seams and details so the backpack is both sturdy and safe for everyday use.

🦁 Final Result

And there you have it—a handmade kindergarten backpack with a lion face design! It’s cute, practical, and sure to put a smile on your child’s face. Plus, it’s made with care using Sensy’s Softee Raffia yarn, which gives it a lightweight yet strong structure.
