Instructions

• Cut the felt for the face: Cut two matching ovals from white felt. Stuff the oval slightly as you glue the two pieces together. 
• Create the eyes: Use black and white felt to make the eyes, and black felt for the nose and smiling mouth. 

• Glue the eye to the face: Glue these pieces to the oval face piece. 

• Pin the face to the hood: Safety pin the face to the front of the hood.

• Cut the felt for the belly: Cut a large oval from white felt for the belly. 

• Cut the felt in half: Cut the oval in half lengthwise so you still have access to the zipper of the hoodie. 

• Attach the belly: Attach the belly to the front with fabric tape.

• Cut the felt for the hands and claws: Cut two matching sets of ovals from gray felt for the hands and two matching sets of claws from white felt.

• Glue together the claws and hands: Hot glue one claw piece at the top of each oval. You should have four pieces total. Now hot glue two sets of hands and claws together, stuffing them slightly as you glue.

• Draw the claw lines: Use a black marker to draw the lines in between each claw. 

• Glue bands on the hands: Glue an elastic band each hand to hold it onto the child’s hands.
