For the shawl:

• Cut three long rectangles from black felt and glue the short edges together to make one long shawl.
• Make vertical fringe cuts at the bottom edges with scissors.

For the headband:

• Cut thin strips of black felt and hot glue over the top and bottom of the headband to cover it completely.
  

For the flowers:

• Cut a 3-4 inch diameter circle from the pink, yellow, and orange felt. Starting from the outside edge, cut each circle in a spiral all the way to the center of the circle.
• Roll the spiral cut felt closer together overlapping it a bit to make a rose shape. Hot glue the end and then hot glue the rolled felt on the back side of the flower so it all holds together.
• Cut teardrop shaped leaves from green felt and glue three leaves to the back of each flower.
• Glue the flowers at the top of the headband.

For the unibrow:

• Cut a unibrow from black felt and attach it to the forehead with double sided fabric and skin tape.
• As another option, you could use a makeup pencil to draw on the eyebrow.
