Assembly:
The nose is sewn between the eyes, I add stuffing as I sew.
Arms are sewn towards the front to give it the Lil T Rex-looking tiny arms; do not stuff them.
The legs are sewn on in the middle of the body. Try to line them up with the middle of the nose, and add stuffing as I sew.
The tail is sewn on in the middle of the back of the body, you can add stuffing as you sew or stuff beforehand, then sew.
Spikes are sewn starting at the tip of the tail and then continue going up the tail, body, and head. But you can position them to your own liking.
