Assembly & Finishing Touches
- Sew the head to the body.
- Embroider a nose with white yarn. What I did was sew a couple of yarn strands horizontally and then “circle around” these vertically.
- Embroider a mouth with black yarn or black embroidery floss. If you want you can embroider some eyelashes (I didn’t).
