• Putting the Pieces Together

Now that we’ve completed the eyes and body of our frog, it is time to sew all of the pieces together. Using sewing pins, pin the eyes into place. We placed the eyes about 1.5 rows to the left and right of the top of the body.

Now it is time to sew the mouth onto your frog! For this step you will need your yarn needle and black embroidery thread. Thread your needle with the black embroidery thread. 

• Fix the body on the ring

Use tail of the Ring Attachment to secure bottom of snout to the front of the ring and the tail of the head to secure to the center top of the Ring Attachment.
