Assembly

• Attach Ears: Position the two finished ears on the plastic headband, approximately 4-5 inches apart, centered. Using the long tail and yarn needle, securely sew each ear to the headband, wrapping the yarn tightly around the headband for stability.
• Form and Attach Bow: Take one red bow main piece. Gather the center by folding it accordion-style or simply pinching it. Stitch to secure the gathers. Repeat for the second bow piece. Stitch these two gathered pieces together at their centers to form the bow shape.
• Add Center Wrap: Wrap the small red center wrap piece tightly around the gathered center of the bow. Stitch the ends together on the back to secure.
• Attach Bow to Headband: Securely sew the finished bow to the center of the headband, between the two ears.
• Cover Headband: Wrap the black crocheted strip around the plastic headband. Use the long tail and yarn needle to sew the edges of the strip together along the underside of the headband, encasing it completely. Securely stitch the ends of the strip to the headband.
• Weave in all remaining loose ends.
