2. Forming the Moon Shape:

1. Fold the crochet piece in half to create the crescent moon shape.
2. Use a darning needle to sew along the curved edge in the back loops only.
3. Before fully closing it, add stuffing or any desired material to fill the moon (optional).
4. Complete stitching the edges to secure the crescent shape.

3. Attaching the Strap:

1. Take a white yarn and create a slip knot.
2. Chain 76 stitches (or adjust the length depending on your preference for the strap size).
3. Cut the yarn and pull tight to secure the chain.

4. Combining the Components:

1. Attach both the star and the moon to the strap. Use a darning needle or tie them securely with the ends of the yarn.
