### **Assembly:**

1.  **Attach Head to Body:** Sew the head to the top of the body (R9 of the body section) using the tail from the head. Ensure it is securely attached and centered.
2.  **Attach Arms:** Sew an arm to each side of the body, just below the neck seam (around R8-R9 of the body), making sure they are symmetrical.
3.  **Attach Hair:** Sew the dark brown hair tufts onto the head. Arrange them starting from the forehead and covering the top and sides to mimic Ralph's messy hair.
4.  **Attach Collar:** Wrap the turquoise collar strip around the neck where the head meets the body and sew it in place with the tapestry needle.
5.  **Attach Overalls Strap:** Sew one end of the dark brown strap to the top front of the overalls on the right side of the body, and the other end to the top back of the overalls on the left side, creating a diagonal strap across Ralph's chest.
6.  **Add Buttons:**
    *   Sew the two small light blue buttons onto the front of the orange shirt, vertically.
    *   Sew the small grey button onto the dark brown overalls strap, near where it attaches to the front of the overalls.
7.  **Attach Keychain Ring:** Securely attach the keychain ring (using its jump ring) to the top of Ralph's head. You can thread it through a sturdy stitch on the very top.
