glue the lid ring to the inside of the scarf, under the head. Glue the metal lid
disc inside the lid ring and to the bottom of the head. Assemble the hat by sc

Arrange the hat on the head, then sew to the head under the “cuff” with
color B yarn and yarn needle. Add the face of your choice (it’s GOTTA’ be
better than mine! LOL) Fill jar with cocoa mix. Screw on lid.
