get your cushions and take out the stuffing and put it too one side we will use this in a minute

with the material cut the sewn edges to make one big bit using cable ties attach this to the inside top of the hanging baskets (this is to hold in your stuffing and will be covered over later so it hasn't got to be the neatest job in the world)

now start putting stuffing behind the material through the holes padding out the mouth this doesn't have to be too thick as the cat isn't going to lay on this part

now get your red felt and lay it out and put you baskets on it and wrap it around the head see how it covers (this is the part that took me the longest as im not a seamstress) and cut how you think is best making sure to leave enough to cover the lip of the basket as this is where you will fold over and glue

the technique i used was to make oval type shaped the same way a beach ball is made this meant i had three parts to put over it which left seams but i glued the overlap to seal it

once it is covered all in red the hard bit is over and the rest is fairly easy
