Assembly and Finishing:

1. Join Body Parts: Using the long tails and tapestry needle, sew the upper body to the lower body. Stuff firmly as you sew to maintain shape. Then, sew the combined body to the bottom of the head. Ensure all parts are securely attached and stuffed to your liking.

2. Attach Nose: Sew the orange nose onto the face, centered between the eyes and slightly above the midpoint of the head. Point it slightly upwards.

3. Embroider Facial Features:

• Using black yarn, embroider a wide, cheerful smile below the nose.
• Using brown yarn, embroider arched eyebrows above the safety eyes.

4. Attach Hair Twigs: Sew the three brown hair twigs to the top of the head, evenly spaced.

5. Attach Arms: Sew the two brown arm twigs to the sides of the upper body, slightly below the “neck” area.

6. Embroider Buttons: Using black yarn, embroider three small black circles vertically down the front of the body (on both upper and lower body sections).

Weave in any remaining loose ends. Your Amigurumi Snowman is complete!
