Assembly and Finishing

After sewing the muzzle to the head, make small tightening stitches around the eyes. Around the eyes there are two gray patches; I felted them with dark gray wool. Then I glued the eyes and stitched white thread around the gray patches. I also stitched the ears with white thread; inside, the ears are tinted gray.

The nose, like the paws, was sculpted from polymer clay, boiled in a small bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes, and after cooling covered with clear varnish.

I glued the paws and nose to the legs using a hot glue gun. I sewed the ears to the head and the tail to the lower part of the body.
