- Take the eyes and glue them below each of the eyebrows.
- Next, take the mouth and glue it in the middle of the face, just overlapping the bottom of the eyes.
- Place the nose at the top of the mouth line and glue it in place.
- Glue the cheeks on both sides of the mouth.
- Optionally, use the black marker to draw the whiskers on both sides of the nose.
- Finish up by gluing the face to the middle of the paper plate mane.
