Assembly: It might be helpful to make sure you have the snout sewn on so you know the eyes are placed correctly. Before you close up the body portion, don’t firmly stuff the body. You want to keep it a little squishy so it can sit and it has that cute look to it! Start off with sewing on the stomach in the center of the body. Now start attaching the arms to the sides, lightly stuffed. After, attach the legs that will also be lightly stuffed. You can either attach them straight forward or have them slightly going to the side. But make sure to pin them so you can make they will sit! With those limbs attached, you can now sew on the ears to the top of the head, which will also be stuffed. His wings will be attached to his backside, but it might be easier to attach the tail on first to make sure the wings are centered! The tail will give him support to sit up straight! Now embroider the nostrils with black yarn 🙂 For the tail, pull through different strands of red and yellow yarn through the end of the tail. Now that those are in place, take a pet brush and start brushing out the yarn until it looks fluffy!
