Using Shocking Pink, ch desired length for strap. Sc in

strap – weave them both in. Place the strap ends on the inside of the ears of
one of the heads. Sew in place with needle and pink thread. Do not sew
completely through to the front of head or pink thread will show on white head.
Lining:
To make a head pattern, place the head on a piece of paper
and trace around it with pencil about ¼
inch wider. Cut this out to use as your pattern. Pin pattern onto fabric
and cut out. With wrong sides together, pin lining to head; folding raw edges
under, and making sure all yarn ends are tucked in. Hand stitch lining to head,
leaving sc stitches in the border round of head free for assembly.
| Assembly: |
With wrong sides together and using Black, whip stitch both
heads together beginning at tip of one ear and outlining to tip of other ear.
Weave in ends. Using white thread, sew snap to the top middle of inside of head
going through lining and white yarn to ensure stability. The white thread will
not show on the outside of the white head. Do not sew through bow.
