1. Work the rubber bands over each other until the guy comes off.

2. Add a cotton ball. I had to remove a little of the cotton Ball to get it to fit. you can also stuff it with tissue or cloth.

3. Just work the cotton inside the guy until it is round and you can see no cotton from the outside.

Finished
