Assembling

Before attaching the nose onto the head, take a dark colored embroidery thread, into the shape
of a T. Then attach the nose onto the head, make sure to only lightly stuff the nose. The
placement of the nose should be right between the eyes, more towards the bottom.

The Ears are assembled more to the sides towards the back of the head. The felt around the
eyes I assumed them as I attached the eyes into the head. I also glued the felt down a little
before closing the gap and putting the safety backs into the eyes.

The blushing cheeks were glued on under the eyes, or right next to the eyes. Feel free to sew
the felt pieces in place.

As you assemble the head and body together make sure to attach the arms right under the
neckline.

I glued the paw pieces onto the feet before I sewed the feet onto the body.

Put the tail into the back and you’re done!

Decorate with accessories as much as you want! Extra cuteness!
