Assembly of Crochet Vulpix
Attach ears to head and then the hair and bangs- arranging as desired. Attach the legs and arms to the body, and the head to the body. Attach the tails to the body – note if placed too high on the body the tails will add too much weight and cause Vulpix to fall over backwards. Be sure to arrange the tail near the bottom of the body/ in such a way that Vulpix remains balanced. Brush the tail lightly with a bristle or metal brush to make it more fluffy.
Eyes and nose- these features were added by needle felting on leftover yarn ends directly onto the face. Alternatively one could use colored felt pieces.
