4. Sew the Head: Attach the head to the body, slightly angled with the face facing you.
5. Sew the Back Paws: Attach the back paws at a slight angle under the body.
6. Sew the Tail: Insert the wire into the tail (optional), then sew it to the body.

Final Touches:

• You can add any extra details like whiskers with embroidery thread or small beads for decoration.
• If making a keychain or charm, attach the keychain hardware to the top of the head or back.
