For each farmyard bauble there is an step-by-step guide. But in general you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Draw and cut out a large oval from a felt sheet for the body and a smaller round shape for the head. Stick the head onto the body.
Step 2: Draw and cut out a shapes to create the head (ears, snout); stick them onto the head.
Step 3: Cut out two black eyes and glue them onto the head.
Step 5: Cut pieces of string for the legs and for hanging the bauble:
• Two long pieces for the back legs
• Two short pieces for the front legs
• One piece at the top to hang the bauble in the tree
Step 6: Glue the strings to the back of the farmyard animal.
Step 7: Attach two pom-poms to the ends of the front legs and two pom-poms to the ends of the back legs.
TIP: The 2D animals are super fun! You can also turn them into 3D by cutting the head and body pieces twice, stuffing them with wool, and neatly sewing the edges closed.
