Assembly:
- Stuffing: Carefully stuff the plushie with fiberfill or your preferred stuffing material. Make sure to stuff it evenly so that the tree holds its shape but isn’t overstuffed (to avoid stretching the stitches). Once stuffed, sew the remaining opening closed securely.
- Decorating the Tree:
- Attach Ornaments: If you’ve crocheted or made small ornaments (like mini baubles, stars, or lights), use a glue or yarn needle to sew them onto the tree to secure them in place.
- Bow Topper: If your tree has a bow topper, sew or attach it securely to the top of the tree using the same method.
- Weave in Ends: Make sure to weave in any loose ends from the assembly process, hiding them in the body of the plushie.
