Assembly & Finishing

  1. Muzzle: Sew the muzzle onto the head. The magic ring of the muzzle should face forward.
  2. Sculpting: Use a needle and strong thread to make a slight cinch (indentation) where the eyes will be placed. Glue the semi-beads into the indentations.
  3. Details: Glue the velour nose to the muzzle. Using black embroidery floss, stitch a vertical line from the nose downward and add small eyebrows.
  4. Body: Sew the head to the body stitch by stitch, ensuring it is secure.
  5. Limbs: Sew the front paws to the sides of the upper body and the hind paws to the lower sides.
  6. Ears & Tail: Position the ears on the sides of the head and sew them in place. Attach the tail to the back of the body.
  7. Shading: For a professional touch, use a brush and some graphite from a regular pencil (or eyeshadow/pastels) to shade around the eye area.

Congratulations! Your Pearl Doggy is finished!
