SNAPPY GETS HIS EYES

Look at the illustration (see A) NOTE: The new eyes are beads that can be threaded (see BUNNY). Take a length of the tan carpet thread and make a knotted loop of thread through the wire loop (see B) then gently pinch the wire loop together to create a single thickness of wire. Now you can insert your threaded needle into the head where you had marked the eye position (see C and D) and push through to the far side of the center seam just under the chin near the base. (see D, E, and F) Repeat this with the other eye. Finish off the eyes by pulling the eye threads tightly, create a knot, and pull the thread "tails" back inside the head and trim off the ends.

REMEMBER THIS:
A blog posts everything in a sequence that is LAST to FIRST so it is always important to read the previous post before starting to work on the present one.
