Assembling Your Rudolf

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I'd like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I'm happy with their placement. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

Sew first his snout slightly in between his eyes, you might want to stuff it a bit while sewing it on. Then find the position of his antlers and sew those on. A bit lower, the ears will come. Cut his hair to the length you want and unraffle the strings with a needle or brush. Lastly, glue on the small red pompom as his nose.

If you want to be able to hang it, make sure you add a little loop to the top.
