Step 3.
Draw a circle and a rectangle on yellow felt. The circle must be a little bigger than the wooden bead and width of the rectangle must be from the bottom of the cork to the wooden ball.
Also draw a shape like this on red felt.

Apply a layer of glue on the yellow circle…
… and place it on the wooden bead, like this.
Let it dry.
Next, put a bit of glue inside the acorn cap and on the edges…
… then fix it over the yellow circle.
You have now the head with yellow hair and acorn hat.

And cover the cork with it.
Let it dry well.
Wrap the ribbon around the neck, over the yellow rectangle but take care to let the hair free.
Make a knot to keep it in place. You can cut the ribbon ends if they are too long.
