Finishing Touches

Cut approx. 25 pieces of Pink (Baby Bernat Light 3) at approx. 4 inches each. Attach to the horse's mane using a lark's knot with 2 pieces at a time, placing in each ss along the mane, and a few between the ears (bangs). Trim to desired length.

I then added pink sparkly puffy fabric paint in the ears, for the nostril, mouth, and jawline (pushing the mane out of the way). Allow to dry. Sew in a small button eye.
