Step 10 : Nose
Form the nose by creating a sausage with modelling paste . To create the nostrils and nose wing , stick in a pointed modelling tool and pull carefully outwards .
Step 11 : Ears
For children , the ears should be placed level with the middle of the eyes and middle of the mouth ( when looking at head from the side ). Roll modelling paste into an egg shape , pull a hole in and form with ball tool using c-shape indentations .
Step 12 : Hair
Cover the head with a hood of light brown fondant mixed with CMC . Add volume to the hair by shaping drop-shaped pieces of fondant . Texture them with the dresden tool , shape them into strands of hair and attach them with edible glue . To keep their position when drying , paper towel is very helpful . The hair gets a more realistic look if you marble some beige and dark brown into the light brown fondant . For this I used my paste colour which I thinned out with alcohol .
