Face Shaping(optional)
*Using worsted weight yarn & your needle*
Step 1. Insert your needle into the bottom center of the head and bring
it out slightly underneath the outer side of the safety eye. Exact
placement doesn’t matter, as long as it’s hidden underneath the eye.
Step 2. Next, insert your needle back into the head, slightly
underneath the inner side of the safety eye. Bring the needle out to the
other eye and do the same thing.
Step 3. Bring your needle out to the bottom of the head in the same
spot you inserted it, tie the yarn tails together and pull them tightly
into a knot so the eyes sink in slightly.
Embroider blush on now if you'd like!
