Assembly

Fold the large log in half lengthwise and sew the two ends together. Then stuff the log and sew both ends onto the log. Then fold the two short logs in half lengthways and sew the two ends together on each log; the shorter logs will only have one end to sew on. Stuff both of the short logs and take the end that doesn't have a bottom and sew it onto the large log in the middle, one on either side. Then sew the flames onto the logs, with the large flame in the middle. Weave in all ends and trim them.
