Assembly:
In terms of assembling the lamb, I don't really know how to describe the sewing logistics? Haha! So here's a picture of the finished project... and you can kinda just assemble based on the image! Hopefully I'll get better at this at some point!!! Lol!
Finishing touches:
For the nose, use pink yarn ( or yarn of choice) to embroider a small v shape
For the ears, feel free to apply blush to the inner parts of the ears for additional CUTENESS!!!!!
And that's about it you guys! I apologize if there's any confusion, and if you come across something that doesn't make sense, feel free to message me! I'm always in search of advice on how to improve!! Please share your finished products with me! :)
