Assembly for Bulb:

With the long tail you now have, Pull it over the sides of the bulb and then go back in through the center and pull it tightly, so it squishes it and makes it less circular. This however many times looks best to you. It will sort of look like a pumpkin!

Assembly: First, you want to stuff the head very firmly. However, 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! Begin 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! Now, attach the bulb to his back. The final step is to embroider a smile on with black yarn and also put cute green leaves on his head! If you want, you could even choose to do felt for the leaves.  🙂
