EYE
Using the photo as a guide, use a yarn needle and a small strand of blue yarn to stitch the eye.

POM POM TAIL

Using one strand of white and one strand of yellow yarn...
wind yarn around 3 fingers about 20 times.
Slide the wrapped yarn off of your fingers and tie a long piece of yarn around the center of the bunch.
Cut both ends of the folded yarn so that you have a bunch of individual pieces.
This should begin to look like a pom pom. Now hold the long yarn strands and shake it over a trash can then use scissors to trim it till it is round. Now use the long strands to tie it to your project.
