Wrapping the Mouth

We'll now need to cut a hole for the mouth and tuck in the excess fabric.

Make sure to not trim to the edge of the mouth opening, but to rather trim in the middle on the fabric. This will give us plenty of fabric to be able to pull it into the mouth hiding any cardboard.

You may need to trim away some of the mouth fabric so that it can glue into the inside without having too much where it hangs loosely. Glue the fabric onto the inside and pull tight to smooth the fabric down.

Using plenty of spray glue, glue the rest of the batting on. Trim off the excess batting with an xacto or scissors to form a neat seam on the backside of the head.

The head should now be fully wrapped, glued, and have a nice, clean, mouth opening.
