Tail (Optional - for fun!):
Make a pom pom about 2 1/2" (6cm) big. If you don't have a pom pom maker, you can make a pom pom like this:
1. Wrap yarn around your fingers. The more yarn you wrap the thicker the pom pom will be. 2. Pull it off your fingers and cut the yarn tail.
3. Tie a piece of yarn around the middle. 4.Cut through all the loops and then trimto even it out.
Sew onto the back of the body over a few rounds.
