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! First thing to attach is the stomach! Begin attaching the arms to the sides, lightly stuffed. After, attach the legs that will also be lightly stuffed. The legs can even overlap the stomach. 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 tail to his back side, which will also give him support to sit up straight! To give the tail its flames, pull through a couple pieces of yellow and red yarn. They can be whatever length you desire. Now, with a pet brush for hair, brush out the strands until the are frizzy like the picture! The final step is to embroider a smile on 🙂
