Step 6Confirming Sizes
The next step is quite simple.
Get out your drill with the smallest drill bit you have.
Without the person's head in the mold, drill a very small hole on each of the eye marks you made on step #5. (look @ pic #1)
Have the person put the head back on once the two holes are drilled and have them get their eyes into the right positon again.
If there eyes are in the right place, when they're looking staight ahead in the ball, they will see two little dots with light coming through them.
If they don't see any dots right in front of their two eyes and one's a little right of their eye and another's right in front of their left eye, ect., then that's fine!
What you'll do is have them take off the mold and drill another hole(s) where you think their eyes are and then have them look again.
Hopefully by then it would be in the right place!
If not just drill a couple more holes. (look @ pic #2)
As you can see in picture number two, I did three sets of holes and the third one was correct.
You don't have to patch up the incorrect drill holes (if you have any at all) because, as you also saw in the picture, the imaginary mouth that hasn't been cut yet, was surrounding the holes that were incorrect, too! And since later you will be cutting out the mouth, you will be cutting out the incorrect drill holes, too!!!
If your drill holes are way off (which is pretty unlikely) and they won't be in the mouth area that gets cut out...then... sadly...you'll have to patch them up with a little paper mache...
