♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d 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.

Sew first his snout slightly in between his eyes, you might wanna 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. Last glue on the small Red pompom as his nose.
If you wanna be able to hang it, make sure you add a little loop to the top.

I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram  with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.
