Assembly

Sew the tail, face, and ears. I attach the eyes at around round 21, close to the face. When sewing them, I pull the beads slightly together to make them look neater and less prominent. Embroider the nose, eyebrows, and add a couple of stitches near the eyes to create eyelids.

You can decorate the bunny with a decorative button.

Your Sunny Bunny is ready! Congratulations!
