How to put the head together:
What I always do myself, when I've got to put something together which exists out of a lot of parts, is that I first pin everything onto the head with (sewing) needles. It then looks like this:
As you can see, I didn't put the hair parts in place yet in this picture.
So... et's start!
1. Sew the ears and the nose onto the head.
2. Sew the pupils onto the eyeballs, and sew the eyeballs onto the head. 3. Sew the backpiece of the hair onto the hat.
4. Sew the sideburns onto the head, place them just in front of the ear, with the long side of the sideburn (the side of where you started the chain) facing the ear. 5. If you haven't done this yet, sew the white circle with the M onto the hat, and sew the two parts of the hat together.
6. Sew the moustache just below the nose. 7. And the last step: place the hat on top of Mario's head and sew them together. At the back of the head, fold the backpiece of the hair upwards to make the sewing part easier. Also, this makes the hair look a bit more playful.
