Assembly

- Sew the ears onto the head.

- Sew the scarf around the neck and add a button if desired.
- Embroider the nose and cheeks with black embroidery thread or yarn.
- Attach the bee to the top of the head securely.

Finishing Tips

- Use pins to position parts before sewing to ensure symmetry.
- When stuffing, fill firmly but leave a little give for a soft, huggable toy.
- Secure safety eyes and small parts well if the item will be given to small children; consider embroidering facial features instead of using small detachable pieces for toys meant for very young children.
- Weave in and hide yarn ends inside the stuffing where possible for a neat finish.
