· Optional: Place your eyes where you would like them and then remove to embroider your eyelashes before attaching the washer to the back. (This creates a little hole to help see where you want your eyelashes to go).
· Next, sew your beak centered between the eyes adding a little bit of stuffing as you go.
· Cheeks – With a piece of pink/red yarn and your tapestry needle pass your yarn through 2 stitches on either side of your beak to create the cheeks.
