Assembly

Take each of your 6 tendrils and sew them onto the right side (the side that will be facing outward) of the bottom piece of the body in spiral, alternating colors as you go.
Take the bottom piece of the body, that you've sewn the tendrils onto, and sew it onto the top part of the body, using the back loops for both pieces.
OPTIONAL: Take a piece of thick pink yarn and sew on some blush under each safety eye.
