The Face
For the nose, I just took black yarn and a tapestry needle and made a triangle the size of the nose I
wanted then filled it in, top to bottom, with black yarn.

For the eyes, you can use anything you want. I used small buttons, but you can embroider them on, get
some safety eyes, or use black beads.
