Toy Assembly

  • Sew the head to the body. On mine, the protruding part is the belly, but if you sew the head the other way around and a bit to the side, it will look like the fawn is lying on its tummy with its bottom up.
  • All legs are made with thread-joint attachment.
  • Sew the tail at the back.
  • Sew the antlers onto the head.
  • Embroider the nose and eyes.
  • You can brush the fawn with a slicker brush.
