Bun: (1) 5/8" Circle Punch

Assembly
1.Attach Obi to the body of the favor: cut each ends at a slight angle.
2. With one of the 1-1/4" Black Circle, attach 5/8" Black Circle bun and attach 3/4" Square Blush Blossom neck - set aside.
3. Attach bangs to face.
4. Hand draw eyes, mouth and chalk cheeks
5. Apply dimensional to head underside.
6. Attach head to hair, be sure the bun is "inside" so the back of the head is "clean".

8. Attach collar under neck.
9. Slip entire piece into favor box top.

Assembly #4
Assembly #6,7,8:
To make the flower for her hair:
Because Washi paper is a bit thin, add a piece of scrap which will assist in punching the flowers:
Use a round tip tool, push on a mouse pad or soft surface in a circular motion and soon the flowers will start to "curl"
See the right flat flowers (Yellow arrow) compared to the dimensional flowers.............

Project is now complete...........................I hope you will make a few of these, too.
Note: Punched used is SU's trio Flower Punch p- the smallest one was used.
