I’ve used large tortilla wraps but you could also make them with small wraps too.

Use a round cutter to make two holes for the eyes. If you don’t have a round cutter than use anything circle shaped to cut around the outline with a knife. Then use the knife by itself to cut out the holes.

Cut two small rectangles for the nose.

For the mouth use the knife to cut a smile shape. Then cut lines through the mouth.
