Assembly:

Stuff 8-10 cotton balls inside flask. Glue two rhinestones or beads (or attach brads) in the center of row 9 or 10 and let dry; Using needle and embroidery floss, sew a curved stitch for mouth, knot and hide ends inside test tube.  (Helpful hint: I dip needle tip in glue and run between the floss and flask to help hold “mouth” in place. Clean off needle for future use.)

Alternate ideas:

Change to white yarn anywhere - just be sure to add eyes & mouth on bottom colored portion.

Add a cork in the top of flask, if desired.

I hope you enjoy this cute pattern.
