How to make Mickey Mouse headdress

  1. Prepare a suitable size black felt cloth and fold it into two pieces. Use white chalk to draw a circle of your choice using a cup or plate, and then decide on the shape of the ears (draw a white line at the bottom position). The same goes for the other ear.

  2. Use a sewing machine to slowly sew the curved part (yellow thread). If it becomes smaller when turned over, it is best to sew outside the line you drew.
