How to make nose from oven baked clay;

Suggested: To make thicker fur on body part I suggest adding to main yarn any Super Kid mohair yarn to make body parts (likewise color as your dog you are making). I make white dog and use Super Kid mohair Silkhair white color.
Eyes - Plastic eyes – 15-16mm; video how make custom: https://youtu.be/Fg1uW-s77zE
Nose – 20mm/3/4”.
Dog slicker to brush the toy
Stuffing
Super glue - gel, clear.
Leather cording 3.1mm/1/8in (I use Bead Landing cording) to make eyelids.
Hook: 2.75, 3.25mm
Wire: I use insulated electric wire, diameter 2mm
For dog’s painting I use dry pastel and make up (eyes shadows) and also, you will need painting or make up brushes
