ASSEMBLY
  I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have it in the position you like best before sewing.
  Sew the buttons to the white eye part as shown on pictures. White part of the eye is sewn between round 7 and 12.
  Embroidery the mouth and the cheeks lines. The mouth place it in round 2 and 4 and the cheeks lines between round 6 and 7.
  Now you can pin the zipper and fabric in place to begin the sewing. This took me awhile cause I'm a perfectionist and I had to sew it by hand since I don't own a sewing machine. But this would keep your items from falling out.
  Sew the strap on wristlet.

For hand sewing it, I did a pretty good job. :)
