Whimsical Wine Wizard
YOU WILL NEED: ◆ White yarn ◆ White card ◆ Felt sheets in brown,
purple & black ◆ PVA glue & brush ◆ Light wooden button ◆ Needle & purple thread ◆ Bell ◆ Mug ◆ Pen ◆ Scissors 1 Cut a rectangle of felt (approx 10cm height) to wrap round the widest part of the bottle, covering the labels. Brush glue onto bottle and stick the felt in place. Leave to dry. 2 Trace round the bottom of a mug onto the brown felt and cut the circle shape out. Fold over and cut in half. Glue these semi circles to bottom edge of bottle on the black felt and leave to dry. 3 Loop the yarn round the bottle just above the top of the black felt and secure with a tight knot. 4 Cut yarn lengths and fold them over the bottle loop. Feed the tail through, securing them to the loop. Repeat this until you have created a bushy beard and trim into shape if necessary. 5 Using the moustache template provided, trace onto the card, flip and trace the opposite side. Cut both out. With a spot of glue, stick the two moustache pieces together, then the button to the top of your cardboard moustache and leave to dry. 6 Cut a 24cm x 24cm square from the sheet of purple felt. Fold a corner of the square diagonally leaving 8cm between the two corners then wrap the shape round the top of the bottle covering the top of the beard. Pin, remove from bottle and secure with a few stitches. 7 Fold the top of the hat and stitch a bell to the point so the hat folds over and down. Pop your hat on the top of your bottle. 8 Stick the card moustache/button nose onto bottom edge of the felt hat with a blob of glue so that it sits above the beard.
