### **Assembly**
1. **Sew Head to Body:** If you made them separately, sew the head to the body firmly. Ensure the head is centered and sits securely.
2. **Sew Legs to Body:** Sew the tops of the legs to the bottom of the body, side-by-side, leaving a small gap in the middle if desired, but making sure Geralt can sit or stand balanced.
3. **Sew Arms to Body:** Sew the tops of the arms to the sides of the body, just below the neck.
4. **Attach Hair Cap:** Place the hair cap on the head, aligning the front edge with the forehead. Pin in place, then sew around the edge of the cap to secure it to the head.
5. **Embroider Facial Details:**
* **Eyebrows:** Using black embroidery floss, embroider thick, slightly angled eyebrows above each safety eye to give him a stern expression, as shown in the image.
* **Scar:** Using red embroidery floss, embroider a distinct vertical scar over his left eye (viewer's right eye) as seen in the reference.
6. **Attach Shoulder Pads:** Sew one shoulder pad onto each shoulder of the body, slightly overlapping the arm joint.
7. **Attach Faux Leather/Felt Straps:**
* **Chest Straps:** Cut two thin strips of dark brown felt/faux leather. Cross them over Geralt's chest, mimicking an 'X' shape. You can secure them with a dab of fabric glue or tiny stitches on the back.
* **Waist Belt:** Cut a longer strip for the waist belt. Wrap it around Geralt's waist. You can cut a small buckle shape from felt or use a tiny metal charm for a buckle. Secure in place.
* **Side Leg Straps:** Cut two short strips and attach one to each outer thigh, just below the waist belt, for the leg armor straps.
8. **Attach Wolf Medallion:** Attach the silver Wolf Medallion charm to the center of the chest straps. You might need a small jump ring to attach it to the intersection of the straps.
9. **Attach Keychain and Sword:** Attach the keychain ring to the top of Geralt's head. Thread the sword charm onto the keychain ring.
