Embroidering Eyelashes (Using Black Cotton Yarn)
- Push your needle from the bottom of the plushie to a hole next to the top of the eye.
- Pull the yarn through and go over the eye, inserting it through a hole on the other side.
- Bring the yarn up where you want the first eyelash to appear.
- Push the yarn back down near the eye and bring it up again where the second eyelash should go.
- Repeat the process for as many eyelashes as you'd like.
- Once done, return the needle to the original hole at the bottom of the plushie.
- Tie off, cut the yarn, and hide the ends inside.
- Repeat for the other eye.
Adding Blush (Using Pink Chenille Yarn)
- Pull the needle through a hole near where you want the blush to start.
- Insert the needle two stitches across from the starting point.
- Repeat the motion between the two points until you achieve the desired blush thickness.
- Bring the yarn to the bottom, tie off, trim, and hide the ends inside the plushie.
Creating a Smiley Mouth (Using Black Cotton Yarn)
- Bring the needle up through a hole where the smile should start.
- Take the needle across and exit directly under the mouth curve.
- Bring the needle up again to form a curved shape and complete the smile.
- Insert it back under the smile and exit through the same hole as the starting tail.
- Tie off, trim the yarn, and hide the ends neatly inside the plushie.
