First, use red and white to create pink color, add some acrylic color medium and mix then well . Paint the feet , mouth and acicula pink, paint eyes black, paint the horn yellow. Draw a symbol on the back, i draw a heart.

Step 3: Make the Tail

Cut a short iron wire. Wrap the thread on a card until you feel it's okay for a tail, use scissor to cut it. Hold one side of the thread and put a short section of iron wire into the thread. Entangle the iron wire end of the thread with more thread, fasten the end. Make the iron wire curvy so it looks like a tail. Paint it pink as well.
