Sew to the body.
Add two stitches to the upper part of the tail to secure it to the head (because the tail is large and heavy, it wouldn’t stay up on its own).
Embroider the nose
Black cotton yarn.
Find the center between the eyes and embroider the nose. I used double yarn to give it thickness.
Start at the side of the head, make the embroidery, and when finished , exit from the entry stitch to tie the knot and hide the yarn.
I made a few passes to make it thicker (I made it the width of one stitch).
Embroider the mouth
Black cotton yarn.
I used double yarn.
I used pins to decide where to make the mouth.
Start at the side of the head and exit from point 1, then re-enter at point 2, ensuring that the white pin underneath holds the yarn.
Exit at point 3, re-enter at point 2 and exit with the needle from the pin that holds the previous yarn.
Re-enter immediately, making sure to pass over the yarn to secure it, and repeat on the other side.
When finished, exit from the entry stitch to tie knot and hide the yarn.
