for head, one 3" for tail, and two 2" for front paws. |

Center foam pieces for front paws, back feet, head, body, and
tail flat side up on wrong side of corresponding plush felt
piece. Wrap felt around foam onto flat side and pin at top,
bottom, and center of each side. Adjust excess felt between
pins, smoothing folds; glue felt in place. Remove pins. Trim
excess felt as necessary. |
