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 for assembly. This Thi s 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.
