Things to do:
1. Cut a piece of black felt 12 inches x 16 inches. This size worked for a toddlers head, and you might wish to go a bit smaller if being made for a baby.–such as 10×14. You can also cut a strip of white felt 12 inches x 2 inches if you wish to have the flap bit of your bonnet be white as opposed to a solid black.
