ASSEMBLY
Curl Placement:
- Sew curl to center front, just above where eyes will go
- Curl should spiral/swirl to the side
- Position about 2" down from crown
Eye Placement:
- Place eyes on either side of center, below curl
- Space about 1.5" apart
- Position about 3-4" above brim
Ear Placement:
- Position on top of beanie, about 4" apart
- Angle slightly outward
- Jigglypuff ears are small and pointy
Pro Tips:
- Use a bubblegum/light pink - Jigglypuff is pastel!
- The curl is THE signature feature - take time to shape it nicely
- Eyes should be big and placed close together
- The white highlight on pupils makes them look alive
- Ears are smaller than Pikachu's - don't make them too big
- For felt version: cut eye pieces from felt and layer with fabric glue
"Jigglypuff, Jigglypuff..."
