Take the burgundy felt square and cut out a triangle that is 5″ long and 8″ wide, this will make part of the hat. Take the white felt and cut a piece that is 8″long and 1/2″ wide. Wrap the burgundy piece of felt, that was cut, around the bottom of the pot with the jute twine in between. Have all the loop sticking out of the burgundy felt and then glue together.
