How to put the head together:

-

What I always do myself, when Ive 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 didnt put the hair parts in place yet in this picture.

So lets 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 havent 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 Marios 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.

Now, youve got your very own Super Mario!
