Embroider on a face using duplicate stitch and the light pink and black yarn

Assembly:

When you’re happy with the face, use leftover tail of gray yarn from the head to sew upthe seam at the back of the head, then between the 2 ears

Sew the head onto the poptart body at the position you want, but make sure that the long

open side of the body is facing the bottomTurn the poptart inside out, and pin the legs and talk into the correct positions. Then use a

piece of white yarn to sew up the three open edges and attach the legs and tail at the same time.

Leave a gap, turn Nyan back right way out, then make sure everything is correct before

sewing up the gapUsing the white yarn, attach the rainbow scarf to Nyan Cat’s behind. 

An optional extra is to add knots of white yarn to the other end of the scarf to give it

tassels. I made 7 bunches of tassels on mine, each spaces in at the end and between each color
