Face Details

Eyes

Cut two round or oval pieces from white felt. They should be slightly larger in diameter than the colored pupils. Make small cuts with scissors in the center of the felt pieces. Insert the 22 mm colored pupils into the cuts.

Try the finished eyes on the bulb base you crocheted earlier, placing them around the 19th round down from the top round of the work.

Sew the felt eye pieces to the bulb base with brown Iris yarn or embroidery floss, using small blanket stitches. Apply clear super glue to the back of the colored pupils and glue them in place. Glue false eyelashes along the top of the eyes.

Move 2 rounds of sc up from the eyes and embroider the eyebrows with brown Iris yarn or embroidery floss.

Nose

Crochet with plush yarn in the same color you used for the bulb base.

Rnd 1: 5 sc in MR (5)

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the nose, and cut the yarn. Sew the nose to the bulb base. Move 3 rounds of sc down from the nose and embroider the mouth with brown Iris yarn or embroidery floss.
