Assembling

Whenever I start assembling amigurumi, I like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

First, sew along the edge of the face to secure it better. Cut his ‘hair’ to the length you want and unraffle the yarn with a needle to make it fluffy. Then sew on his beak, feet, and wings nicely.
If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.
