We do not cut the thread yet.
We turn the canvas inside out, because it’s more fluffy there
(optional), and set aside for a while.
STEP 2. LEGS.
We take a wire with a diameter of 2 mm, a length of about 60
cm and do the leg preparation according to the scheme (see photo 1 – 2
below).
Then spread the finger with glue and tightly
wrap with brown (or black) threads.
Thus we wrap all 4 fingers and the leg itself
to a height of about 6 – 7 cm, the ends of the thread are fixed with glue.
We do the second leg in the same way.
Insert the finished legs into the previously connected body in
the first row of knitting from the bottom, departing from the edges of 2 cm.
We adjust the legs to the desired height, it can be
from 3 to 6 cm, and fix inside the body with electrical tape (or
tissue adhesive), wrapping it with a thick layer
per leg (see photo 4 – 5 below).
We twist the wire from the legs together,
isolate. After that, we stuff the body with the filler.
Connect the upper edges of the body with SL-ST (see photo 7 below),
fasten the thread, cut it off.
STEP 3. WINGS AND TAIL.
