Assembly & Finishing:

1. Position the ears symmetrically on the top edge and sew them securely with a tapestry needle. 2. Sew the white mouth piece to the lower middle of the holder and add the black triangular nose above it as described. 3. Attach the eye pieces, then secure the safety eyes through the eye pieces and the holder. 4. Weave in and trim all loose ends. Use a stitch marker during assembly to keep placement consistent if needed.

Tips for Fitting Glasses:

- Before permanently sewing on the eyes or facial features, place your glasses on the holder to mark where the temples rest so the holder will cradle them correctly. - If your glasses are larger or heavier than average, consider stuffing the body lightly with scrap yarn or a small amount of fiberfill to add stability (use caution around safety eyes when stuffing).

Care & Variations:

- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed; avoid soaking if safety eyes are used. - Customize colors (e.g., brown, cream) or adjust hook/yarn size to change the finished size. - Add small felt accents or embroidery for different facial expressions.
