Assembly and Finishing

  1. Muzzle: Sew the beige muzzle to the head. Before cutting the yarn, use it to create eyebrows or details if needed.
  2. Eyes: Create a slight cinch (indentation) for the eyes by pulling yarn through the head, spaced 7 sc apart. Glue the 0.5 cm glass eyes into these indentations.
  3. Details: Embroider eyebrows above the eyes. Use a black permanent marker to shade a thin stripe on the upper part of the muzzle.
  4. Nose: Glue the 1 cm nose onto the tip of the muzzle.
  5. Body: Sew the head to the body stitch by stitch, ensuring it is secure.
  6. Limbs: Sew the ears to the sides of the head. Attach the 4 paws and the tail to the body.
  7. Collar: Create a small collar using a strip of leather. Decorate it with rhinestones for a finished “Pill of Joy” look.
