Pink cotton ball or white
(optional) mix 1-2 drops of red food coloring in small bowl of water drop cotton ball in
water mixture . squeeze out excess and let dry. ( this method took a day to dry )Or blow
dryer works well.
Q tip cotton swab
Cut off one side of the Q tip, insert the other with the cotton attached into the cotton ball
and glue.
Paint or add ribbon around the stick, finish with a bow.
Attach to hand with small rubber band.
Hair
The latch hook method: I used a combination of yarns, sport weight in seashell, yarn
bee bulky weight split into 3 strands sweet shades in pink/orange multi. Light blue
fingering weight .
- Insert your hook into the gap between 2 stitches and bring it out at the gap
directly above or below - Fold a strand of yarn in half and use your hook to pull the middle through the
head, leaving a short loop on the hook - Yo with both ends of the hair and use the hook to pull through the loop
- Pull the ends downward to tighten the loop and secure the hair strand
- Hook all along the hairline
If You Want Curly/Wavy Hair
Begin by wrapping acrylic yarn around wooden dowels, be sure to secure the ends.
Next soak the yarn covered dowels in water. Squeeze out the excess before placing
them on a baking sheet and into the oven at 250 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Allow them
to cool completely before removing the yarn from the dowels. Cut the yarn into about 12
inch length pieces and apply to head as stated above.
Eyes
Trace the eyes onto a light fabric and paint .Apply clear nail polish to set. And cut them
out. You may have to resize to fit your Torenia Moon. Apply fabric glue and apply to
head.Add one more coat of clear nail polish.
Lastly, Torenia Moon loves to read while enjoying her cotton candy, she reads about the
beautiful and unique flowers around the world. And hopes of one day seeing them all.
Cut out and glue onto cardboard. You may have to resize.
