Assembly
Comb all the fluffy parts with the slicker brush.
Sew the head to the body, to the head — horns, to the back of the neck — wings, legs to the body, nose in its place!
Tighten as you wish, I did differently: I inserted the needle in the bottom from the back of the head and tightened the eyes from the top, also tightened from the front of the neck slightly off the sides of the eyes!
Hands are attached by one thread, they are movable.
Make hair, attaching threads of different colors to the top of the head between the horns.
The Fly is ready!
