The last step is attaching the mini clothespin. I glued it with a hot glue gun.
Assembly tips: Sew the head to the body securely, attach wings symmetrically, and glue the small clothespin to the underside of the body for a fun display stand. Use small beads for eyes and secure them through the foam circles. Trim any loose ends and hide them inside the body when possible.
