until you find the desired look. Sew the eyes. Start and finish on the place where the
muzzle will be to hide the knots. Place the ears with pins and sew them. Hiding the knots
the same way. Make 2 or 3 long stitches, with the same thread you used for the head, over

Join the two wings with small stitches.

Jointing the Bear

Using dental floss, follow the diagram for jointing first the arms and head. Next do the legs
jointing.

Using a long needle and dental floss, insert the needle through the body at the arm
placement leaving the long ends hanging free exiting on the top of the body. A small stitch
will be taken through the base of the head. Insert the needle through the body just slightly
away from the previous stitch, exit at the other arm placement, take a small stitch through
the arm, insert again the needle through the body, near the previous stitch, exit at the
other side of the body, near the first stitch, take a small stitch through the arm. Remove
the needle, pull both dental floss ends until you feel the head and arms are firmly attached
to the body and knot the ends together securely, pulling arms and head against the body.
Thread the ends on the needle and bury in the body stuffing.

Do the same to joint the legs. Just follow the diagram.

Attach the wings to the back of body with a few stitches. Tie the scarf around the neck of
bear.
