Eyes (make 2)

Use pictures as a guideline. Cut white eye shape out of polymer clay. Try using a coin to flatten. After pieces have baked and cooled, apply a layer of white paint over whole front of eye. Let dry, then paint on larger dark blue circle, let dry. Paint middle light blue circle, let dry. Paint dark blue centre circle, let dry. Paint small white dots in top right corner of eye.

Assembly

Use pictures as a guideline. Whipstitch stomach to front of body. Stuff feet lightly and sew to body. (You may want to add a bit of extra stuffing to them just before you make your last couple of stitches to sew them to the body.) Use glue gun to attach eyes to body. Cut small round circles for nostrils from black felt and glue gun these to body.
