Place the Safety Eyes where you want them and attach according to their directions.
Use the 2 strands 6 inches long, fold the strands in half to form a loop insert crochet hook back in on top of Ducky’s head draw the loops through from the inside but not all the way out, set aside. Hold the 5 strands together and fold in half forming a loop. You will be making a Tassel by inserting this loop through the loops on top of the Bird’s head. Pull the ends of the 5 strands through this loop to form a knot. Pull the strands tight then pull the knot back into the top of the head a little by pulling from the inside. Use a blunt needle to sew the knot with the strands inside the head to secure it. Trim Fringe ends evenly. To get the look in the pictures I then unraveled the stands on top of his head.
