Glue all 4 wooden circles together, then adhere the nuts on top of them, and wrap a piece of felt around it. Stuff the felt with poly-fil fiberfill, then insert it down a furry sock and push more stuffing inside. Pull the sock, then tie the securely, and cut the excess as shown in the video. Prepare the styrofoam cone for the nose, then stick a dowel down the base piece, and push the headpiece on top of it. Cut the cork pieces to make the legs of the dog, then prepare the ears and tail of the dog, and attach them to the head and back of the body. Make the hat of the dog, then insert it into the head, then add the eyes, and tongue. Finish the leg pieces and sew them to the body of the dog.
