Little Red Riding Hood How-To1. Sew or glue eyelet trim to hoodie, all around hood and over zipper. Hold in place with clothespins until dry.
2. To create the braids, measure three 3-yard strands of yarn. Fold the three strands in half. Tie a small piece of yarn around the top, near the loop, to create one 6-strand bundle of yarn. Repeat twice to make 3 bundles. Tie the three bundles together at the top. Clamp the bundles to table or stable surface and braid. Tie red grosgrain ribbon to bottom of braid. Repeat to make a second braid.
3. Glue braids to inside bottom of hood.
4. To make the cape, start with a piece of red fabric that is at least 22-by-22 inches. Create a compass by tying a piece of string to tailor chalk. Hold the string at a point 20 inches from the chalk, place in a corner of the fabric, and draw an arc on the fabric with the chalk. Use a plate to trace the neckline. Cut the cape from the fabric.
5. Use iron-on hem tape to keep the edges of the cape from fraying. Glue eyelet trim to the bottom of the cape. Secure neckline of cape around base of hood with fabric glue.

Big Bad Wolf How-To1. Print wolf templates on heavyweight paper. Cut out paper templates. Trace templates onto felt that coordinates with the colors of the template, and cut pieces from felt.
Tip: Use double-sided tape to temporarily hold templates onto felt as you trace.
2. To make ears, fold a brown pipe cleaner to create a triangle with 3 1/2-inch sides, and a 2 1/2-inch base. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together to complete triangle. Fit the pipe cleaner triangle to the edges of the felt "inside" ear piece, and glue together. Glue the "outside" ear piece to the felt within the triangle. Bend the base of the triangle into a small arc to create the shape of an ear.
3. Attach ears to the hoodie with fabric glue.
4. Assemble felt eyes and nose as shown in the template. Attach to hoodie with fabric glue.
5. Glue top teeth and gums to top inside of hood, arranged as shown in the template. Glue bottom teeth to bottom inside of hood, on either side of zipper.
6. To create nose wrinkles, draw diagonal lines of glue originating from the top center of the nose on the inside of the hood. Pinch and hold the outside of the hood over the glue lines to form the wrinkles.
