Assembly & Finishing Tips

Sew the arms to the body securely, weave in all loose ends, and distribute stuffing evenly—avoid overstuffing the base so the doll will sit flat. Attach the hair cylinder to the head and add the purple accents as shown in the hair instructions. Use small, even stitches when sewing skirts and hair so the finished doll looks neat. Trim fringe or style the hair gently if desired. For safety, ensure eyes are firmly secured if the toy will be given to children.
