Assembly and Finishing

Eye Sculpting

To give the eyes depth:

  • Step 1: Use a needle and main color thread. Enter from the bottom of the head between rounds 10-11. Come up at the center of the outer eye, go into the center of the inner eye, and return to the start. Repeat for the second eye. Pull tight and knot.
  • Step 2: Repeat the process, but this time go from the bottom of the eye to the top edge of the eye to create a lid effect.

Face Details

  • Eyes: Embroider the white of the eyes and add eyelashes.
  • Brows: Embroider brows between rounds 13-14.
  • Muzzle: Embroider a vertical line from the bottom of the head to the top between rounds 3-4. Then embroider a small triangle for the nose at rounds 4-5.
  • Mouth: Sew the mouth piece between rounds 6-7. Use a thread from the back of the head to pull the mouth area slightly for a cute expression.

Final Attachments

  • Ears: Sew ears at rounds 17-19. Sew a small part of the front and back to keep them from sticking out too much.
  • Horns: Sew horns at rounds 19-21 using the front loops only.
  • Head to Body: Sew the head to the body, ensuring the belly is centered. Stuff the neck firmly as you sew.
