 with a .02 Micron Pigma black pen.

The hair is 6 strand barn red embroidery floss (DMC # 221). Sew on to head

 where indicated on pattern. See the Help section on this website for more help.

 Trim hair to desired length.

 For the dry brush method, wipe most of the paint off of the brush onto a piece

 of paper and then lightly brush onto cheeks, making sure not to press too hard.

Attach head to heart, with a heavy button thread, making sure to cover the slits.

Pull tight and knot in the back of the heart. Attach a pin back to the back of the heart,

with hot glue.
