You should have two pieces.
- Sew the muzzle to the face. Place a little stuffing between the muzzle and the face so the muzzle is slightly raised. Cut the whites of the eyes from white felt as one piece.
- Sew the whites of the eyes to the face above the muzzle, separating the right and left eyes with thread.
- Sew on bead pupils (or small beads).
- Place the face and back of the head together. Crochet around the edge of the head with reverse single crochet. Leave a small opening for stuffing.
- Stuff the tiger firmly so it looks plump and cheerful.
- Now you have a happy little face. Sew on the ears and whiskers. Glue on the magnet.
