Hair:

1.Follow the instructions for the hair as shown in my L sackboy video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32SINLoVhII
2.Try to cut the yarn longer than how you want the finished product to look. After you have attached all the hair, you can cut the yarn.
3.For my doll, I tried to give her a layered look for the front pieces of hair.
4.Try not to cut the yarn too short or else those pieces will stick out and will not look right.
5.Miki’s hair is long, but with yarn, it is hard to work with it when it is that short so I decided to make her hair longer. I also used a piece of yarn to keep her hair tied so it woudn’t be all over the place.

Red bow:

1.Use red or pink felt to make the bow.
2. Use fabric glue to glue the pieces together.

“Blushies”:

1.Use a pinkish/redish colored pencil of your choice.
2.Stain her cheeks just below her eyes with the color.
