Assembly
First stuff your innertube. I sometimes use a chopstick to reach those hard to reach places. Then sew the ends of the innertube together. Sew on the Duck head, and sew the bill on. Place the inner eye into your outer eyes for your frog. Sew the eyes onto your front head. Sew on your arms and legs. I use dressmaking pins or amistixx to hold pieces in place while sewing them on. Sew the straw onto your bubble tea.
Watch for more fun adventures throughout the season with Furlston! NEW accessories coming!!
