​???? Assembly and Mounting Guide ​Head and Body Assembly: Secure the top of the body to the bottom center of the head and sew tightly. ​Placing on the Star: Position the Grinch in front of the large yellow star. Secure the body to the front surface of the star. ​Positioning the Arms: Wrap the hands from the back of the star to the front so they hug it, and sew the hands together or onto the star's surface. This creates the look of him tightly hugging the star. ​Final Touches: Attach the hat tilted on the head, tuck in all loose yarn ends, and make sure the mouth and eyebrow details are neat to capture his iconic mischievous expression!
