Sealing method

I often use this method to get rid of some tails because it saves more time than weaving the tails in one by one. However, make sure the area that you want to to “seal” is not visible, visi ble, thus, not making ma king it ugly.  1. Ho Hold ld the th e tai taill to yo your ur pi piec ece. e. I f yo you u ha have ve mo more re th than an 1 tai taill , yo you u ca can n  twist  twi st it to beco be come me on one. e.

2. Apply a small amount of hot glue gun, quickly and carefully press press it using a metal flat object, I’m using my scissors.

3. Cut off the tail and you’re done.

assembly

I recommend to use ball point pins pi ns for for assembly. This T his way will help you to keep the pieces in place and make it easier to do the sewing. I'm using a hot glue gun to attach some of the parts, but if you make this amigurumi for kids, I recommend to make it fully sewn.  1. Se Sew w th the e bo body dy to th the e he head ad.. 2. Sew the hair base to the head diagonally like so:

3. Glue the ribbon on an upside down “v” shape like so, leaving a gap above it for the button. 4. Glue the button above the tip of the ribbon. 5. Insert the uniform to the body. You can glue the sides of the square collar part to the body so that it will stay in place.

8. Using ball point pins, mark a horizontal line starting from the right side of the hair base on R12 (approximately 8sts away from the loop alligned on the t he center of the face on R12 of the hair base), base ), to the back,  then  th en to t he le left ft si side de of th thee ha hairir ba base se..
