2. Cut a strip 7cm x 29cm for the brim, and glue onto the front of the square with an even amount each side.
3. Add a strip of red felt 3cm x 16cm to the front, above the rim, and glue in place.
4. Glue a button onto the red strip.
5. Glue the hat onto the wreath where the hat shape is placed.
For the mittens, cut two of the patterns (see template at bottom of page) in the contrast red colour to match and glue onto the main body of the wreath.
