You can take the white thread and shape the end of tail more.

All the parts are made, You can see them all here:

Firstly let's sew the head to the body with orange thread.







Look at the pictures to see where exactly is the head placed.

Secondly let's sew the ears. You can make them more pointy by sewing the ends with orange thread.

Take the 3-rd ear :) witch is the knee and sew it to the body, then sew all three paws.

Now attach the white puffs and with black yarn make a little nose.

Take two black beads and make eyes.


Make two black lines on each paw just like You see on the picture.

Sew the white and orange part of the tail together. Then attach it to the body.

Last step is attaching the brooch part. Remember to do it very carefully and firmly.










Voila!! The brooch is ready! I hope You are satisfied with the effect just like I was :D
