Assembly Instructions

Prepare the Head

Before closing the head completely, insert the 18mm safety eyes between rounds 12 and 13, spacing them about 8 stitches apart. Push the backing washers firmly in place. Stuff the head very firmly with polyester fiberfill to create a round, plump shape.

Attach Belly Patch

Position the white belly patch on the front center of the body, starting about 3 rounds from the top. Use white yarn and small, even stitches to sew around the entire perimeter, ensuring it lies flat against the body.

Create Inner Ears

Sew the white inner ear pieces to the center of each pink outer ear using white yarn. Make sure they are centered and secured with small, invisible stitches around the perimeter.

Attach Ears to Head

Position the ears on top of the head, slightly angled outward. They should be placed about 6-8 stitches apart from each other. Sew securely using pink yarn, stitching through both the ear and head multiple times for durability.

Join Head to Body

Align the head with the body, ensuring the belly patch faces forward. Using pink yarn and a ladder stitch technique, sew around the entire circumference where head meets body. Add extra stuffing to the neck area if needed for stability.

Attach Arms

Position the arms on either side of the body, about 2-3 rounds down from where the head attaches. The arms should angle slightly forward. Sew securely in place, making sure they are symmetrical.

Attach Legs

Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, positioning them slightly forward so Labubu can sit upright. Ensure they are even and symmetrical. The legs should be firmly attached to support the weight of the figure.

Add the Tail

Attach the small tail to the back center of the body, positioned slightly upward. This adds to Labubu's characteristic charm and helps with balance when sitting.

Final Details

Using black yarn, embroider a small triangular nose between and slightly below the safety eyes. Add small mouth details if desired. Check all attachments for security and trim any loose yarn ends.

Quality Check

Give your completed Labubu a final inspection. Check that all parts are securely attached, stuffing is even, and there are no loose threads. Your kawaii monster is now ready for hugs and display!
