Step by Step:

  1. To begin, cut the sponge into small pieces (only the yellow part).
  2. Then, using scissors, we proceed to cut the cardboard toilet paper tube diagonally, forming a kind of cone. Using glue we will join it on its side edge.
  3. Next step, we cut the used stocking to the size of the cardboard tube and a little more than that. There, we introduce the tube and begin to fill with the sponge pieces on all sides.
  4. Next, we secure it well with the thread we have.
  5. Afterwards, we take the sintio or lency cloth or similar and give it a circular shape with the diameter of approximately a cup. Also, let’s cut another piece in a triangular shape, keep in mind that we are going to make a hat (as we can see in the video).
  6. Therefore, we will join each side to form the tube on the circular part and we will glue it. Likewise, we will make an opening in the circular part where we are going to insert the fine wire so that the hat remains upright.
  7. Once the hat is finished, before attaching it with glue to the tied bag we made, we are going to glue the plush fur fabric leaving a space to adhere the hat.
  8. Then, the hat is glued and a wooden bead is glued in the center. We continue working with the felt or lency cloth and cut 2 smaller triangular pieces, with this we will form a kind of little arms that will be attached to the bag under the hat.
  9. Finally, as a final touch, we glue an artificial flower to the back or side of the hat.

We now have a beautiful decoration ready for where you like most in your home!
