Notes

I (randomly?) used 37 wine corks in this project due to the size of some of them.
The foam and the felt are interchangeable. I happened to have black felt and orange craft foam on hand, but you could use either for both the mouth and nose. You could also just use cardstock. Work with what you have in your stash!
