Assembly
Head and Body:
1. Pin the head to the body for easier sewing
2. Sew the head onto the body
Arms:
1. For the hooves look. Take some yarn and sew it into the foot in the middle of the
mr and another spot on the hoof. Follow the pictures for help
2. Pin the arms into place in a forward angle
3. Sew them onto the body.
Tip! Closing the seam by crocheting over the opening will make sewing it to the body
easier. Also the arms will lay nicely flat, instead of sticking out.
Legs:
1. Turn the body facing away from you. Pin the legs on the bottom of the body.
2. Sew the legs onto the body.
Ears and Nose:
1. Pinch the ears together and sew them to give them shape
2. Pin the ears onto the head and sew them in place
3. Cut a piece of black felt for the nose. About 1 ½ inches and glue on the nose
Tail:
1. Pin the tail onto the body
2. Sew the tail onto the body
Antlers:
1. You can choose to stuff the antlers but what I did was insert pipe cleaners inside to
make them bendable.
2. Fold a pipe cleaner in half and twist it and insert them into the antler
3. Sew the small prongs onto the large antler and then pin them on.
4. Sew the antlers onto them.
You have your finished Buck the Deer!
