Pull yarn tight to make nose indent and tie ends of yarn together to hold shape. Hide ends. Felt eyes: You will be using black, white, and blue felt. Use the pictures below to cut out and assemly the felt eyes to look similar to my charmander felt eyes. Smile: Use pins to mark the smile you want. See picture below for reference if you want to make the same design. Nose: Make two small diagonal lines centered above the smile and below wear you made the nose indent.
