ASSEMBLY

1. Embroider sesame seeds on top bun using cream coloured yarn. Secure ends with a tight knot.
2. Whipstitch one underside of bun to top bun – stitching front loops to back loops.
3. Fill with stuffing halfway through stitching. Do not over stuff. Continue to stitch shut. Do not weave in ends yet. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for bottom bun. Weave in and hide yarn ends for the bottom bun only.
4. Flip bottom bun so the underside is showing. Glue patty followed by cheese on the underside using hot glue gun.

1. Glue the corners of the cheese down to make it appear the cheese has melted.
2. Glue tomato on top of cheese then glue top bun onto tomato.

1. With the cream coloured yarn end from the top bun, create a loop on top of the bun – insert yarn in needle and weave into the bun, and push out onto the top of the bun, in the centre. Insert the needle back into the centre and create a small loop. Weave the yarn in and out of the bun several times to secure it. Cut yarn.
2. Finally, insert the loop into the keychain/keyring.

You can skip steps 7 & 8 if you don’t want to create a loop on top for the keychain. Instead, just attach the keychain directly onto one of the stitches on top of the bun.
