Sew body and head, placing both parts correctly (make sure
the tail is right in the middle with respect to the head).
Before closing the seam, finish filling, and if you want, you
can insert a wooden stick or similar to give it more stability.

ANTLERS

Each antler will be made up of two pipe cleaners. Fold them in

half, and join them by twisting them on themselves, so that the
ends of both are not even, but rather stick out from each other,
so that one shaft is slightly longer than the other. Keep twisting
and shaping. Insert each antler two points above the ears. You
can fix them with glue.
