If anyone finds 12V bulbs in the right shape and size for the nose, post it. I haven't found anything appropriate so far. Do a search for wool felt and look for the color butterscotch for the rudolph brown color. Natural for the neck trim etc.... Also use a pink for the inside of the ear and mouth, with the natural for the "hair" coming out of the ear interior. I used epoxy putty for the hooves and antlers as well as the head and torso bases. Use sharp "small curved" scissors to trim your polyfoam for the neck section and for the shoulders/hips of the legs. Use batting for the tail stuffing. The original eye pupil was a very thinly shaved leather stuck on the white of the eye. My leather was just too thick and I abandoned that and just used a black sharpie marker instead as I have no desire to change the pupil position on my Rudolph. For the ears, you want to cut a piece of felt in the shape of a cathedral window. Cut cut a smaller piece of pink in the same shape and sew them together. Cut tiny strip of natural "fuzzy" felt and sew on the bottom facing of the pink down at the base of the ear. I inserted a single piece of wire inside between the two pieces of ear material... lastly, at the bottom, bring the two corners of the ear together and sew in the front and this gives the ear it's correct shape.
The tail is mostly natural with a tiny sliver of the butterscotch on the front. Everything was hand sewn on my replica. I did use a tiny bead of hot glue to hold the felt in position so that it couldn't slide about once it was sewn which worked perfectly.....just make sure to mash the hot glue flat immediately so it doesn't alter the contour of your replicas. My hooves and antlers are painted with an acrylic burnt umber "dark brown" paint. I may paint my LED for the nost with a more translucent red paint to make it look more like the original. The LED will illuminate it regardless of the paint. The original was painted over a clear bulb anyhow.
