    depending on the basket or container to be used.

    Spread out threads to form whiskers.  Glue whiskers to the face and
    then glue the pink pompom on top of the knot on whiskers.

  • Place chosen container inside the loop body and fill as desired.

This same method can be used with baby blankets or wash cloths.
