1.Cut 8 pieces of felt, using clay pot as template.

3.Remove back & one short side of large cardboard box. This will be the bottom of the costume.
4.Cut a half-moon hole in the remaining short side large enough for child to fit neck through.
5.Starting 2″ from edge, cut a hole into each long side of box on “neck” end large enough for child to fit arms through.
6.Cover large front and top side of body and hat boxes with felt, using a brush for even coverage, and allow to dry.
7.Cover sides of each box in felt, cutting clean edges around front & top sections, and allow to dry.
