If not, use your desired materials, make a nose with felt or sew with string to do whatever your heart desires!

2) Glue eyes at Round 9 onto either side of the pug’s nose (used 9mm safety eyes), but you may use felt, too!
3) Pin and sew each ear (between Rounds 4 & 5) onto either side of the pug’s head.
