Once your paper bowl is dry it’s time to decorate it. Glue the back of the eye part of the book. Start your craft by painting the underneath of your monster go with whatever colour you fancy or maybe even use a couple. Glue your teeth on to the front edge of the felt, leaving the jagged part hang over. Glue the ribbons to the top of the red felt. Wrap the ribbons, over the top and cut them about 1/2 an inch shy of the front edge. On top of th post it notes place the red felt for the top part of the monster book Place the post-it notes on the bottom pf your book (don't stick it down yet, we just need it to measure our ribbons.

Use you felt, as an indicator as to how wide you want your teeth, just a bit shy of the width of your red felt is a good idea.

A little saw made quick work of this, just don't cut so close that the fastening washer comes back off. Once both eyes, are securely fastened you want to cut off the excess shank at the back. I tried to make sure I pushed the washer on the back as tight as I possibly could. I would cut away the excess fur, so i could get my eye to sit a little more flush with the bookboard, making for a tighter fit. I also found it was easiest, when I pushed as much of the fur out of the way as possible. Bee sure the hole is big enough to let the back of the eye through.

You don't want to cut them off right up against the bookboard though, or it won't cover the corner of the bookboard. You will need to cut off the corrners off the fur fabric.
