Assembly
Take the two rainbow panels and place them together with the wrong sides facing in. Sew the long red edges together using a seamless stitch (e.g., mattress stitch).
Then, sew the shorter multi-coloured sides together, tucking each yarn end into the inside seams (sewing up as you go).
Stuff the inside of your rainbow and sew the blue edges together using the mattress stitch. Sew a 3-hole safety pin on one side of the rainbow and wear with pride!
