5 STAGE.
DECOR
1) Pin the ears and trunk to the head with pins and sew them. The ears should be sewn over 6 sc, with which we connected the 2 sides of the triangle of the eyelet. Sew on the eye both front and back.
The trunk should be stuffed weakly, especially in its upper part! Otherwise, he will stand upright, and we need him to look down.
2) Cut white eye whites out of felt.
3) Glue the eyes on either side of the trunk as shown in the photo.
4) Tint the area around the eyes with any means of tint that is convenient for you.
5) Make a simple eye tightening: for this, enter the needle with the thread for the tightening in the neck area behind the head, bring it to point 1 and re-enter it to point 2, return the needle to point 3) Repeat the thread 2-3 times constantly pulling the thread. Point 3 should be located as close as possible to the joint so as not to spoil the shape of the head! Tighten the second eye in the same way.
6) Pin the tail and sew on.
7) You can optionally lightly tint the knees, elbows, trunk and ears.
8) Thread black eyebrows embroider.
9) From the remains of the main yarn, make your elephant a small forelock.
