Ideas:
I didn’t do this but I think it would be neat to add a little pipe cleaner into the stash so that you can curl the ends tighter or looser and they will stay in place nicely.
I was also thinking it would be fun to use some brown wool yarn you can brush to make the mustache furry looking. Here is a good tutorial on wool brushing:

Row 6: Repeat instructions for row 5. (10)

Mustaches are a pop culture phenomenon these days. From mugs to pencils to finger tattoos, the mustache dominates as a symbol of trendy eclecticism (and manly awesomeness, of course).
I used this mustache for my Santa Clause mug warmer/cozy.
