Assembly Guide ​Head and Body: Using the long yarn tail left from the head, firmly sew it onto the top of the body. To prevent the head from wobbling, pass the needle back and forth between the head and body a few times to secure it tightly. ​Ears: Sew the ears symmetrically onto the upper sides of the head (around the 4th and 5th rounds). ​Muzzle: Position and sew the muzzle right below the eyes in the center. Attach the plastic nose on top or embroider a small smile and nose line with thread. ​Attaching the Legs: ​Sew the front legs to the upper sides of the body at shoulder level. ​Position and sew the back legs symmetrically to the lower sides of the body so the dog can sit in a balanced posture. ​Tail: Sew the tail to the lower back part of the body to finish.
