Shaping the Face
Take a long needle with a wide eye, insert it into “a1” as shown in the photo. Leave a small tail so you can tie it and bring the needle to “a2”, then insert it into “a3” and the last digit “a4”. Tighten the thread ends well and tie them in a knot. Do the same with the other side with the letters “v”. Hide the threads in the head.
Facial Features
Measure a long piece of black thread. First, make eyelids by placing the thread evenly over the eye, as close as possible to it. Then shape the eyebrows, which should be positioned 3 rows above the eyes and 5 columns wide. Insert the needle according to the numbers in the photo (a..). Secure and hide threads in the head.
