Assembly
Sew the Beak to the front of the Head.
Sew one end of the Neck to the bottom of the Head. Ensure it’s centered. Stuff the neck as you sew it to maintain its shape.
Sew the other end of the Neck to the top-back of the Body, positioning it so the flamingo will sit upright and its neck forms an S-curve.
Attach the two Wings to the sides of the Body. Position the all-light-pink wing slightly more forward and the two-toned wing slightly behind it, overlapping slightly, as shown in the image.
Sew the Tail to the back of the Body.
Use black embroidery floss to embroider small eyelashes above the safety eyes for extra charm.
