close to the eyes as possible.
Points 5 and 6 are located in the last round of the head, in the front in the middle.
Insert the needle at point 5 and exit it through point 1. Then insert the needle at point
2 and exit it through point 6. Now pull the second eye. Insert the needle at point 5 and
exit through point 3. Then enter at point 4 and exit through point 6. Pull the ends very
gently, trying to pull the eyes evenly and not too much. Tie a knot and hide inside.
