🩷 The arrows of the quiver
(to be done with Color red and crochet 2 mm)
-> It is the same process as for the main arrow on the bow. I just didn’t add the feathers so that it could fit well in the quiver.
💘 Assembly and finishes 💘
-> Using a pin, mark the location of the ears 4 sc from the top lash, to the right and left of the head.
-> Sew the ears by curving them slightly.
For the nose:
-> Position at the middle point in relation to the two eyes and go down just under the row under them.
-> Pass your beige thread 4 times with 1 sc width difference.
For the hair:
-> Glue the base of the hair so that its middle should be on the middle of the top of the head. The fringe should be in front of the head.
-> Then glue strand by strand from the outer row over a length of approximately 4 cm. They must be well against each other so as not to leave any space. You need 1 strand in front of the ears on each
side.
-> When you get to the fringe, glue the strands along their entire length. Glue 3 strands on the left side of the face and one strand on the right side.
-> You can put pins in each wick while the
glue dries.
-> You therefore have 9 strands of hair left at the top which will be used to make the ponytail. Go to the next page to take care of it.
For the ponytail:
-> First pass the string behind the ponytail.
-> Bring back the front and cross it.
-> Then, iron it behind and make a double knot to hold the ponytail well.
-> Cut the excess thread.
-> Glue the heart in the center of the string.
For the dress:
-> Glue the knot to the belt of the dress on the left side.
-> Position the sleeves of the dress with pins to give you an overview of where to glue.
The sleeves should be slightly at an angle, flared outwards.
-> Glue each end of the sleeves (the 3 sc at the beginning and the end) in front and behind on the 1st row of the dress for the continuity of the white color.
For the head and the body:
-> Put glue inside the hole we left in the head and tuck the point of the neck inside.
There should be 1 row of sc left for the neck.
For the arrows of the quiver:
-> Put a dot of glue at the end of a wooden stick and return it to the center of the heart.
Do it for both arrows. Then store them in the quiver.
Arm articulations:
-> Position the two arms as in the photo, to prepare them to receive Cupid’s arch.
The bow in the arms:
-> Glue the arrow (at the level of the heart) on the middle of the arc (the thinnest place with the 4 sc).
-> Glue the arc on the right hand at the level of the middle of the arch.
-> Put a dot of glue on the other end of the arrow and insert it in the left hand.
