Place the two sides together and sew around the edge leaving a bit of a gap to stuff it.

Stuff it with felt of other fluffy stuff then sew up the remaining edge

Cut away any fluff or remaining long wool bits you have left over

Attach two loops of wool to each side of the tips of the moustache. These must be long enough to fit over your ears.

Wear, look smart, pose and take photos for all to see!
