Crochet Tips
Create magic ring and crochet various parts in single crochet (US) according to schematics, increasing and decreasing as noted. After binding off, leave yarn tails for finishing. Use yarn tails to attach parts. For bridge only, insert wire into ears and both hands, then fasten to head and body. Insert stuffing into head and torso, then seam various body parts together. With balance in mind, embroider nose and mouth and fasten eyes with craft glue. Sew fun fur to brides body in order to fashion a dress; wrap two strands of pearl beads around her neck to make a necklace. Make a bouquet with felt flowers and leaves and sew to brides hand. Sew felt flowers and colored buttons to base of brides ears. For bridegroom, cut black felt into bowtie shape. Sew bowtie and a colored button to base of grooms neck.
