Assembly and Finishing
- Place the Hot Dog into the Bun with the Mustard facing outward.
- With C, sew the Bun to the Hot Dog, trying not to indent the Buns.
- Sew keychain to the top of the ornament.
Practical Tips
- Keep your stuffing light: Do not overstuff the Hot Dog; it should have a soft, rounded shape.
- Use a yarn needle for sewing: A yarn needle will help make the sewing of your Mustard and assembling the Bun easier and more precise.
Troubleshooting
- Uneven edges: This could be due to inconsistent tension. Make sure to keep your tension even throughout the project.
- Stuffing showing through: Use a firmer stuffing material or ensure not to overstuff, which can create gaps.
Care
For care, gently spot-clean your finished ornament with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as excessive moisture can distort the shape. Store your ornament in a dry, cool place to maintain its structure.
