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’m 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.
     FEET...if you haven't already stuff them lightly. Place them between round 14 and 16; approx 1.25" apart.

     ARMS...no need to stuff them. Align them to the feet and place them on round 11 and 12.

     HORNS...no need to stuff them. Place them on round 4 and 5 or in the position you like best.

     EYE...you'll need to make 4 circles out of felt.
Using white felt make a circle with a diameter of 3.5cm.
Using green felt make a circle with a diameter of 1.5cm.
Using black felt make a circle with a diameter of 1cm. Make another one with white; make this one as tiny as possible. Glue them together like in the picture below and place the eye between round 5 and 11 of the head/body.

     SMILE...using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider a smile however you like the possibilities are endless. You can also make the smile by surface slip stitching.
