  2. While the paint is drying, cut out an oval nose and a smile from black felt. Cut a pair of ears from grey felt.

  3. When the foam ball is dry, use tacky glue to attach the facial features.

  4. Glue the ears in place. Hold them for 2-3 minutes so that they don't slump under their own weight.
