Sealing method

I often use this method to get rid of some tails because it saves
more time than weaving the tails in one by one. However, make
sure the area that you want to “seal” is not visible, thus, not making
it ugly.

1. Hold the tail to your piece. If you have more than 1 tail, you can
twist it to become one.

2. Apply a small amount of hot glue gun, quickly and carefully press
it using a metal flat object, I’m using my scissors.

3. Cut off the tail and you’re done.

Now we’re gonna make the details on the face:

whiskers.

the centre of the face, in the same level of the eyes.
3. Embroider a short vertical line below the “v” shape.
4. Embroider an upside down “v” shape for the mouth, below the verti-
cal line.

assembly
I recommend to use ball point pins for assembly. This way will help
you to keep the pieces in place and make it easier to do the
sewing.
I'm using a hot glue gun to attach some of the parts, but if you
make this amigurumi for kids, I recommend to make it fully sewn.

1. Sew the pumpkin to the head.

2. Using the tail from the pumpkin, pull out from the magic ring
to the top 5 times on the part that are curved in (see pictures), pull
each yarn tight then secure the tail.
