Assembly

• Attach safety eyes to the front of the bee’s face, in between rounds 3 & 4 and an inch apart.
• Next, stuff the bee and use the tail to cinch the opening closed by sewing through each stitch and pulling tight. Tie a knot and weave the tail in.
• Cut the pipe cleaner so it measures 3”. Poke it through the bee’s face, and out through another stitch on the face. Roll the tips down and bend them so they look like antennae.
• Cut two tiny circles out of the felt (about ¾” in diameter) and hot glue them to the body, so they stand upright. I attach mine on the center black stripe and even with the antennae.
• Last, embroider a small smile on the front of the bee’s face with a bit of black yarn.
