Antennas (x2)

Assembly:
Now it’s time to assemble all the pieces together!
- Cut out two small circles in pink felt, then attach them just under the eyes using hot glue
- Sew the beak to the head
- Attach the head to the fluffy body by sewing or using hot glue (I found that using hot glue was easier to get the look I was going for, where the head looks “squished” into the body)
- Sew the antennas onto the top of the head (use / weave in both tails)
And now your mini Altaria is finished! I hope you enjoy this free pattern, and if you make one please share it with me! (On my Facebook page, this blog, or my Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet)
