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 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 have not already stuff them lightly. Place them between rounds 15 and 17; approx 1.25" apart.
ARMS...no need to stuff them. Align them to the feet and place them on rounds 11 and 12.
HORNS...no need to stuff them. Place them between rounds 4 and 5 or in the position you like best.
EARS...place them right behind the horns; between rounds 5 and 7. Fold the top part of the ear down to give it the droopy look. Sew the folded part for it to stay in place.
ADDING HAIR to the TAIL...with black yarn cut 2 strands (4" length each). Fold a strand in half and pass it through one end of the tail and pull through a loop, pull tight. Repeat with the remaining strand. Now that we have added all the strands of hair to the tail, using a comb or wire brush and start combing every strand of hair. This would make it look like fur. Finally, trim to the desired length.
TAIL to BODY...try to find the middle and place it in round 15 over on the back of the body.
SNOUT...using cream felt, make a small oval. With black embroidery floss or thread, embroider 2 slanted lines in the middle for the nostrils. Place it between rounds 10 and 13.
EYES...with black felt make 2 circles and with white make 2 much smaller circles. Place the black eyes between rounds 7 and 8; approx 0.75" apart. The white circles will be placed on the upper part of the black eyes.
SPOTS...using black felt cut out different shapes. Place them around the body, in the position you like best.
BLUSH...using pink embroidery floss or thread, embroider a line underneath the eye for the blush. You can also use pink felt and make a tiny circle or you can use makeup blush and apply some using a q-tip.
