Pattern Correction & Tips
- Straps may be made slightly longer or shorter to fit your cup’s body.
- Be sure to add safety eyes before stuffing and closing the top.
- Acetate/cardboard base is optional but adds great structure.
- Use a bright workspace for sewing black pieces and eyes—black is hard to see!
- If making for a small child, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.
- Tip: Use a tapestry needle and strong thread for best control when assembling pieces. Customize accessories (e.g., sword, headband emblem) for favorite anime crossovers!
