To Add Eyelashes
Thread your sewing needle with a length of embroidery floss.
Step 1: Bring the needle from inside the piece to the outside. Make sure your needle is right next to the safety eye.
Step 2: Insert the needle back into the piece, about 1/4 of an inch away from the eye to make the first lash.
Step 3: Bring the needle to the outside again, and repeat step 2 for making another lash. Make sure to place the lashes apart from each other.
Step 4: Once the needle is inside the piece and you have sewn on as many lashes as you’d like, make a knot to secure the embroidery floss.
