As I update all my patterns to add SVG files and light box instructions, I’ve also been adding cute, optional eyelashes.
But there’s no reason for you to have to wait for me to update every single pattern!
Here’s a handy dandy one-sheet that gives you eyelashes that you can add to any of my patterns!
Download it here.
While I was at it, I also added sleepy, peaceful, closed eyes, and happy, scrunched up, smiling eyes. Just put them where the oval eyes are on any of my patterns.
The medium size will work for almost all patterns, but I also included small and large versions of all the options. You can, of course, resize as needed to fit any eyes.
Have fun with these!
