1 Cut the felt the same height as the bottle and wide enough to wrap round and overlap by 4cm.
2 Stitch on two buttons using yarn, as pictured. Leave a length on one button to fasten.
3 For the pocket, cut a 10x27cm piece of fabric. Press all four edges 5mm to the wrong side, then fold the strip in half, 15cm from one short end. Sew around three edges to create an open pocket.
4 Put the pocket onto the front of the cover and sew down the two long side edges. Press the flap over and sew on two buttons, with a length of yarn for tying as before.
5 Fill the pocket with dried camomile flowers. Cut a 12cm length of ribbon and sew the ends to the front of the cover in front of the dried-flower pocket.
