Assembly
Attach Muzzle: Pin and sew the muzzle to the center of the head, just below the safety eyes. Lightly stuff before fully closing. Ensure the black safety eyes act as the pug’s nose and eyes. If your safety eyes don’t have a nose, embroider a small nose.
Attach Ears: Position and sew the ears to the top sides of the head, slightly forward.
Attach Head to Body: Carefully sew the head to the body, ensuring it is centered and secure.
Attach Legs: Sew the four legs to the bottom of the body, evenly spaced so the pug stands. Ensure the dark brown paw tips face downwards.
Attach Tail: Sew the curled tail to the back of the body, slightly upwards to maintain its characteristic curl.
Weave in any remaining loose ends to finish your adorable Amigurumi Pug!
