Assembly

Position the cow head atop the cow body and pin securely. Use the tapestry needle to stitch around the neck joint, adding stuffing before closing. Attach the muzzle between the eyes, aligning with the bottom edge of the cheeks. Sew the horns at the top of the head and the ears on the sides. Place the arms on either side of the body and the legs underneath, ensuring they are spaced evenly.

For the duck, attach the head to the body and secure. Sew the beak below the eyes. Place the wings on either side of the body and the feet at the base. Finally, position the hat on the duck’s head.
