Assembling and Finishing
- Attach the snout to the head (at the level of round 7).

- Optionally, create a slight indentation on the snout for added detail, but the bear looks great even without it.
- Sew the ears and tail onto the body.
5. Embroider eyebrows and stitches on the face or any other spots you want to add detail. - Attach a small felt square to the belly. Don’t worry about symmetry with the stitches, they can be a little playful.
