Assembly:

Look at the pictures for guidance

Sew head to body, both parts up right, side by side, head a bit higher than body

Sew on limbs on the “belly"

Sew on tail at the back of the body and fold it to make it look curled

Sew on ears on the top opposite sides of the head

Sew on balk beads/safety eyes for eyes

Use black yarn for mouth in a upside down “∆” shape

Thread pipe cleaner through back and fold

Cut a pipe cleaner in half, fold each half in half and wrap the half way mark on the bend of the back threaded pipe cleaner.

Cut another pipe cleaner in half, thread pipe cleaner through backs of ears and curl into horn shape

Cut felt triangles, matching the back threaded pipe cleaner’s shape.

Blanket stitch felt along each pipe

Cut jaggedly at the base of the felt wing.

[Note: All ends of pipe cleaners folded in]
