To speed up the laborious task of attaching his hair I attached 4 strands at a time – 1 beige, 1 medium brown and 2 dark brown strands. Along the front of the hairline, I kept it close together but spaced it out more for the middle and the back. This still gives the illusion of a very full head of hair without all the effort.

The overall measurements of Mr Pricklepants is approximately 7.5 inches/19cm tall and 6.5 inches/16.5cm wide.
