Sew the fabric pieces together along the longer edges, leaving the shorter edge open. This will form the hat.

Cut out a piece of brown felt that is 30 inches long and 3 inches wide. Sew the long edges of the felt piece together, forming a tube of fabric. This will form the tail.

Pair the hat and sweat pants with a yellow T-shirt. Paint a red circle on the tip of the nose and three black whiskers on each cheek, using face paint or other makeup.
