Assembly :
This assembly is only advice from me, you still need to use your imagination to make it look good in your eyes. Playing with the placement and get the best result.
1) Sew the whiskers and the cheeks to the head. I placed it between round 16th and 23th.
2) Sew the belly to the body. I placed the belly between round 20th and 32th.
3) Sew the arms and the foots to the body.
4) Sew the ears onto the head.
5) Sew the tail spikes to the tail. I placed small spikes in between round 3th and 6th and for the big spikes I placed in between round 7th and 10th.
6) Sew/glue the body stripe to the body. I placed it in between round 13th and 31st.
Face
I’m using black and white felt for the eyes, I placed the eyes between round 12th and 16th. For the nose and the mouth I’m using black embroidery thread (see the picture). For the teeth I’m using felt (really small piece), I placed the teeth between the mouth.
