Friends, when stuffing the head and body, add the fiber very slowly and in small amounts! This way it stays nice and round and doesn't get too firm. And when sewing the pieces, adjust slowly until everything is in the right place. If something doesn't look perfect the first time, don't worry — every little reindeer you make is unique and special, made by your hands with love!"
