Bun Assembly:

In Light Brown

Line up both buns so the bottom of them touch as shown (Pic 1). Using a long piece of brown yarn, sew them together by going through BOTH layers as shown (Pic 2-3). Continue sewing them together until the buns are fully connected. Once done, weave in ends.

Hotdog Assembly:

In light brown

Place the hot dog between the bun, making sure the bendy part of the hot dog is facing up (Pic 1). Take a very long piece of light brown yarn. Sew the hotdog to the bun by inserting your needle through the bun, into the hotdog (Pic 2), and pull the needle out at the other end of the bun (Pic 3). Reinsert needle into the next stitch or so over (Pic 4), and pull needle through the hot dog and other end of the bun (Pic 5). Repeat this until the bun and hotdog are fully sewn together. Once done, tie the tail end of yarn into a firm knot. Bring the knot into the bun to hide.

Once fully pinned on, sew down with yellow yarn (Pic 3-6). Tie ends of yarn into firm knots, and bring into the hotdog to hide.

Reinsert needle into the same spot, this time making sure the needle lands BELOW the yarn as shown, and pull needle out where shown (Pic 3).
