Assembly

Sew body to the bottom of the head.

Sew arms on the sides of the body, between rnds 15 and 16.

Sew hair to the head, so that the curl sits between the eyes and one rnd above them. The back of the hair should be above the rnd where you sew the body. Make sure to sew the side burns vertically and to leave a gap between them and the rest of the hair.

Sew ears to the head, between the gap of the sideburn and the rest of the hair.

Sew the smaller edge of the cape to the body on the back.

For the symbol, cut one piece of red felt in a diamond shape, and a piece of red felt in the same shape but slightly smaller. Cut a piece of red felt in a shape of “S” that fits on top of the diamond shape. Glue the diamonds together (red on the bottom and yellow on top), glue the “S” on top of that, and then glue to the body above the belt and centered. (Cutting the symbol can be tricky, so I suggest looking at reference images online and do your best)

And that’s it.
