ASSEMBLY:
1. Sew ears to head.
2. Sew arms to body.
3. Sew legs to body.
4. Cut the following out of felt, and sew/glue to respective body parts:
> Purple: ear spikes, tail spikes
(For me, it's easiest to cut a rectangle in the desired length, and the cut a backward- 3 shape into it to form the spikes)
> Yellow: tail accent
(I just cut a thin rectangular strip and wrapped it around her tail)
> Pink: inner ear (2 pink triangles)
> Brown: claws (same as ear spikes)
