B & T

Making Up:
Oversew the base of the hedgehog’s chin, sew in the tinsel ends and ensure the hedgehog sits snuggly on the bottle top.  Tighten the tinsel edge if needed.  Sew on 2 small beads for eyes.
If you don’t have any tinsel wool, you could use other similar yarns – they seem to work equally well.
