You will be embroidering the eyes. You will first make 5-6 vertical lines of white in the middle of the eye. Next, you will embroider two small black horizontal lines in the middle of the white.

Felt:
You will need to make one large white piece. This piece should have a straight bottom and two even lumps at the top. You will then make two small black ovals. Sew/glue one oval on each white lump towards the middle. See picture for reference.
