- We draw allowances for seams of 0.5 mm and cut out.
- With a thread of contrasting color we make a basting.
- We sew parts on a sewing machine. We leave a small area unstitched.
- We turn out the sewn parts with a wooden skewer.
- The body and the carapace are well stuffed with syntepon.
- Sew the remaining holes with a blind stitch.
- Sew the shell to the body of the snail.
Decorate at will, draw eyes or sew small buttons. Such a snail will be a great gift or toy for a child.

The following tools are prepared for work:
- Tailor's scissors.
