- Insert through crown, anchor bottom in head stuffing.
- Shape point.
Option 2 – Pipe Cleaners (Softer):
- Twist 2–3 together. Insert same way. Flexible but less sharp.
Option 3 – No Wire (Kid-Safe):
- Crochet tightly with a smaller hook.
- Stuff crown tip firmly.
- Brush with fabric stiffener/PVA glue and let dry upright.
✂️ Assembly
- Sew head to body.
- Attach arms and legs.
- Position and stitch cape.
- Sew crown securely above hairline.
- Adjust and shape hair strands.
🌟 Finishing Touches
