It is such a relieve to be able to sit in front of my computer and typing something for you..sharing this post is such a joyful moment.
I know it is long overdue..I've promised you all to share this tutorial couple months ago and kept forgetting to type it. So today is the day.. (while I have time to type). 
I made this Hello Kitty figurine for a girl birthday cake last year, so you will find the watermarks is in 2011.  Let's start!

Always work on a powdered mat (using powdered sugar). Start to color small portion of the white fondant with blue, red, black and yellow coloring.

1. Make a ball for head from the white fondant.
2. Pinch the up left and right side of the ball using your finger to form ears, then by using the  ball tools, mark the ear holes.
3. Form 2 small balls of black fondant, and one small ball of yellow fondant, using the back wooden side of a brush, mark three holes for eyes and nose.
4. With the help of the brush wet the holes and then stick the black balls in to the eyes holes and the yellow ball to the nose one.

5. Make a flat round shape of red fondant and a tie-like shape one too.
6. Glue the round shape unto the tie shape with some water to form a bow.
