ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I am going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     FACE...make an oval shape using white felt. DON'T glue it unto the body just yet.
     EYES...Using black felt make 2 small circles for the eyes.
Using purple felt make 2 short triangles (for the top) and 2 longer triangles (for the bottom). Glue in place the eyes and triangles to the oval piece.
Using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider a line between the eye and bottom triangle.
     MOUTH...using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider a line for the mouth. Below the mouth create a smaller line with purple embroidery floss or thread.

     ARMS...there is no need to stuff them. Place them between round 11 and 12.

     FACE to the BODY...place it in the center of the body between the arms.
