Finishing:
Sew buttons for eyes
Embroider faces
Sew backs of animals together
Top/Ears:
your yarn is actually going to be in the middle because these are sewn together in the back. Stuff with your preferred stuffing, leave a cm or so on the top. Sew from middle to left, back to the middle, to the right and finally to the middle again. So basically, everything is double sewed. Then take your tapestry needle down from the crown of the head, through the stuffing, and exit out the back towards the bottom. There will be a “stub” of a tail and you can make a couple of knots at this point. The tail will be covered by a new tail that you will knit. This “stub” will purpose as an attachment point. For the bunny, these shorter ears can be an attachment for longer ears
