Assembly

  2. Body & Head: Stuff the head, body, and limbs firmly. Sew the head to the body.
  3. Face: Attach the safety eyes and sew the muzzle to the center of the face.
  4. Final Touches: Sew the ears to the top of the head and the horns between the ears. Attach the arms to the sides of the body.
  5. Dress Up: Slip the knitted overalls onto your bull!
