1. Paint a narrow piece of dowel or small garden cane with bright red acrylic paint and leave to dry.
  2. Draw two concentric circles onto a piece of yellow foam. Cut down to the middle ring to make a sunburst shape and make a small hole in the centre so it can be threaded onto the stick. (pic a)
  3. Cut a circle of self-adhesive red foam and a hat and face shape from plain red foam. Fix the two pieces either side of the cane above the collar. (pic b)
  4. Thread the bells onto narrow gauze ribbon and knot tightly. Attach the ends of the ribbon onto a disc of self-adhesive red foam. (pic c)
  5. Stick another red disc over the top of the ribbon and make a hole in the middle. Push this up the stick to sit below the collar. (pic d)
  6. Decorate the head and hat with wiggle-eyes and shapes cut out from self-adhesive foam.
