  • 1″ wood bead
  • Wine cork
  • Felt
  • Tacky glue
  • Craft wire
  • Small beads
  • Paint markers

 

  1. Glue a 1ā€ bead on top of a wine cork wrapped in felt.
  2. Tie a Ā½ā€ by 3 strip of felt where the bead meets the cork as a scarf.
  3. To make the hat, roll and glue a 2Ā½ā€ by 1ā€ triangle of felt into a cone; glue to the top of the bead.
  4. Cut small slits in the sides of the body felt and press two 1Ā½ā€ pieces of craft wire into the cork as the arms.
  5. Slip small bead over the ends and twist to make hands.
  6. Insert 3ā€ pieces of wire into the bottom of the cork as the legs and slip 2 barrel beads over the ends and fold as feet.
  7. Draw on face with paint markers.
