Lightly Block scarf before adding eyes and nostrils.
Blocking scarf – To block scarves use hot iron and kitchen size towel wet. Lay scarf on iron board or hard surface and place wet towel over scarf, lightly press iron on towel, do not move but just quick press. This steams the scarf and flattens it out so it lays nice. Repeat for full length of scarf. As you steam press be sure you shape if needed. Let dry for at least 15 minutes. If you leave iron on to long or press hard you can ruin scarf.
Using guide cut 28 eyes and nostrils and glue to each head as shown. Let dry.

Yes I looked forever for the guide you said to use for the eyes and nose.
What's up with ?
yeah i think its uber cute but i see no guide for eyes and nasal cavities...
so i'm going to make my own :)
just a thought to throw out there
i'm new at crocheting and i don't quite know what the terms mean-is there a glossary?
this is so cute sugar skulls anyone?
Love it... turned out super cute and it's going to be perfect for this time of year.
For the guide - Cut out eyes and nostril shapes with on card (an old cereal box will work) and use these as templates for cutting out the felt.
I Love the scarf. But do you by any chance have a knitting pattern for it?

Okay, I give up! Where's this so-called guide for the eyes and nostrils?
