Finishing the head
Wooble-yeah- you're almost done with Emilio's head! Just gotta learn how to put eyes in it, stuff it, and finish it off.
⚠️ If you're going to give this to a child younger than 3 or to a pet, don't use safety eyes! Safety eyes aren’t safe. Confusing, I know. You can embroider eyes on instead.

Once you add the eyes, stuff your amigurumi:
