Assembly

1. Embroider the tiny sprinkles on the frosting around Rnds 4-6 with colour D. Short single stitches scattered over the top, leaving the centre clear for the Eyeball.
2. Stuff the Wrapper firmly up to its rim so its base stays flat and its sides stand straight.
3. Sew the frosting to the wrapper at Rnd 12. The open edge of the Frosting on the open top rim of the Wrapper, all the way round; add stuffing to the Frosting before closing the seam.
4. Embroider the round pupil on the eyeball around Rnds 3-4 with colour A. On one side, so the pupil looks out to the front once the Eyeball is sewn on.
5. Sew the eyeball to the frosting between Rnds 1 and 2. On the very top, centred.
6. Optional, to hang it: thread a length of colour A through the top of the Wrapper's seam and tie it into a hanging loop.
7. Weave in all ends.
