Tutorial

What you will need:

Needle,

Thread.

Scissors.

Thin wire (can be pipe cleaners or U nails).

Yarn.

1. Cut each of the pieces out,

2. Line half of the 'Under body' with one of the 'Sides' and start blanket stitching from the tip of the bottom and around the legs.

3. Carry on blanket stitching up the neck (it is a bit difficult)

4. Then do the same with the other side.

5. Take two wires and make a "U" shape with them, you may also use pipe cleaners or "U" nails.

6. Put some stuffing into the legs then place the "U" shaped wiring in. Place more stuffing on top to secure.

7. The horse should be able to stand up now, Place some more stuffing in to fill the shape out.

8. Now make the tail out of yarn by wrapping it around your fingers (much longer than you want it) and tying it on one side.

9. Start stitching up his back form his bottom and place the tail (not too far down or it will look like something else) and stitch the tail into the back with the knot inside.

10. Carry on blanket stitching across his back and stop at the base of his neck as shown.

11. Begin to attach his head starting from the neck and going along (stop at the 'V' shape)

12. Once you have finished both sides, stuff the rest of his body and face to fill him out.

13. Time to make the main, Make many "tails".

14. Attach the first on in the middle of the 'V' shape on his head.

15. Carry on down his main until you finish, make the eyes and snip some loose thread.

And you are done!
