Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembling

For assembling I always use pins first to place all the parts, this way I can easily move them around until I am happy with how it looks!
First place the legs, the 2 in front, slightly forward. two at the back, facing outward, sew them on. Make sure that both sides of the body have about 4 purple dots.
Sew on his tail, it’s not centered, slightly more up. Sew on his horns as well.
For his face, you can embroider it on like I did, or use felt, just what you prefer. For his nose I used the same yarn to embroider on as the eyebrows. Last you sew on the Eyebrows, since you know now where they need to go!
Cut out of Purple felt 6 or 7 small triangle to go on his back and tail. Glue those on.

And you have finished Sulley! I hope you  like how he turned out and make our collection of Tsum Tsum’s a bit bigger! If you wanna make Mike as well, here can you find the pattern! Show me yours when you made it, on twitter or instagram with the #DelinleaDIY.
