What you do
Place newspaper down on work surface. Turn clay
pot over and glue wooden ball to bottom of pot. When glue is dry, use large
paint brush to paint entire the outside of the clay pot with light blue paint,
and the entire wooden ball with flesh paint. Let dry and apply a second coat.
Cut the plush felt into strips long enough to go
around the bottom of the clay pots (see photo), glue in place. Fashion scarves
from material, wrap around neck, and glue in place. Fringe the ends of the
scarves with scissors.
Use material to fashion hats by wrapping enough
material around the "forehead" to go all the way around the wooden
ball. Glue in place. Trim, tuck and glue material to form the hat, glue pom pom
on top. Glue a strip of plush felt around the border of the hat to create a
brim.
Glue a button onto the front of the body. To
create a hand muff, simply roll a piece of material around a small amount of
cotton batting. Glue in place. Trim small strips of plush felt and glue to the
ends of the muff (see photo). Glue hand muff to the body.
Use black marker to dot on eyes and draw mouth.
Using a small sponge, gently dab on a thin amount of pink for the cheeks.
