In order for that make the R24 and

by pushing them a bit inside the head,
if you like.

Use the remaining body thread in order to sew the head to the body.
Make various stitches, specially on the head for the trunk not to fall forwards and
balance its weight.
Fill the legs with polyfiber and place them with pins in order to center and make
them stay equally. The hippo must be standing on its 4 legs. This is the most
laborious part, but the easiest to accomplish.
