Assembly
Sew nose to face; it is optional to stuff it. Next, add on the ears. Using the sewing thread and needle, sew on the little beads (eyes) and stitch a couple of eyelashes. Position and sew on the legs. The wings can be sewn to sides as is, or you could gather them (this would leave more room on the hind end if you want to embroider a cutie mark) before sewing.
Mane and Tail
Wrap the color yarn you want for your hair around your palm. When it looks like you have enough, cut one edge; you will be left with many strands of even length yarn ready to use for your mane and tail. If you run out, you can always cut more.
For the tail, I used about 12 pieces of yarn, tied them in the middle, then sewed it to the bottom of my pony.
For the mane, I chained 12 sts from the pony's body color, leaving a tail on each end for sewing. Then, using the mane yarn, I latch hooked the pieces through each loop on the chain, 2 pieces of yarn per chain. Using the tail ends of the chain, I sewed the mane to the neck.
