Once all the pieces are ready, it’s time to assemble your dangler.
There will be two techniques you will use for most of the
assembly: opening button holes and sewing buttons.
O P
For the buttons, place a button over placement stitch “X.” Using
a needle and thread, sew the button onto the dangler. Tie the
thread off in a tight knot.
For all the button holes, start by pinning across the mouth of the
hole, just inside of the stitching. Then use a seam ripper to open
the hole. Use fine point scissors to clean up the opening.
Once all the buttons have been sewn and the holes readied, it’s
time to attach a ribbon onto the head to hang the dangler.
Sew a ribbon along the top edge of the head in two places to
make a loop.
Lay out all the pieces, making sure that arm and leg pieces are on
the correct side, and button the pieces together.
You’re all ready to make your door welcoming year-round!
