Directions
- Cut a rectangle of green felt that is long enough to wrap around the child's head and between 12 and 16 inches wide.
- Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise so the height becomes 6 to 8 inches. Glue the sides together to form a cylinder.
- Cut two additional green felt pieces, each about 6 inches wide and 8 inches long, to create the neckpiece.
- Glue one strip to the inside of each side of the hat. Attach silver-painted spools to the middle of each strip to serve as neck bolts. You'll tuck the ends inside the shirt or jacket later.
- From the scrap red felt, cut a scar shape and glue it onto the hat.
- Lay faux fur across the top of the hat and glue it in place around the edges. Trim the fur to your desired style.
- Dress the child in the black sweatpants, and cut jagged edges along the bottom.
- Finish with the gray T-shirt and dark sports jacket on top.
