For eyes, take a slice of boiled egg white, cut into eye shapes. Using a small straw, cut small circles from red lettuce or spinach to finish eyes. For mouth, use template or small circle cutter to cut lips from spinach or lettuce.
Use headband template to cut the hair piece from red lettuce, a sharp knife or fine pointed scissors work well.
Assemble face and hair accessories, use dots of cream cheese on a toothpick to help stick them in place.
