Assembly

• First, we're going to start by sewing on the body. Place your biggest scoop onto the body and bend the neck so you will know how it'll sit up. When sewing around, use those black loops to sew it on!
  
  
  


• Once you have the bottom Scoop placed, be sure to pull your yarn and needle through a few times the side to attach the scoop to the neck! I find it helpful to pin it into place prior to sewing.
  
Once you have all the pieces sewn on (Ice cream scoops, antenna, cherry) time to add the last details to the face and ice cream! Embroider on the rest and you will be completed.
