Pin to the bottom of the head and sew in place. Sew threads round the bottom and middle of the head spike and pull tight and fasten in place.

Eyes make 2 (felt in Black, light blue, light purple and yellow.)

I cut a template out of paper for the black of the eye, I placed it on the black felt and cut that piece out. I then reused the paper template and drew the lines for the coloured pieces and then cut them out individually and cut out the corresponding colour. I then placed the three colours together on to the black background to check they all fit and then sewed the coloured pieces on with matching cotton. I then pinned the eyes to the body and sewed them on with black cotton.
