3. Embroider Smile: Using black yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider a simple curved smile below the eye.
4. Attach Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below the eye line (around Rnd 10-11).
5. Attach Feet: Sew the feet to the bottom of the body, evenly spaced, so the monster can sit upright.
6. Attach Horns: Sew the horns to the top of the body, slightly apart, centered above the eye.
7. Weave in all remaining loose ends securely.
