1. Unzip the cushion cover and turn it inside out. Ensure that the corners are laid out on a flat surface. Measure 7cm from the top left corner going across the top of the cover and make a mark with a pencil. Measure 7cm again from the top left corner going down the side and make a mark. Join the two marks to create a diagonal line. Repeat for the top right corner.
2. Measure 12cm from the bottom left corner going across the bottom and make a mark with a pencil. Measure 12cm going up the side from the bottom left corner and make a mark. Join the two marks with a diagonal line. Repeat for the bottom right corner.
3. Thread a 1m length of white embroidery thread through a sewing needle. Create a double knot at the end of the length. Thread the needle through the two layers of the cushion cover at the top left diagonal line. Create a running stitch along the line and secure the thread in place with a knot. Click here for steps on how to sew a running stitch. Trim the thread and continue stitching the other three corners. Once all four corners are sewn, turn the cushion case back the right way and push the inside out as much as the seams will allow.
4. Print and cut out the template shapes on page 10. Place the nose template piece onto a sheet of red felt. Place the remaining pieces onto brown felt and trace around each piece. You’ll need to trace around the ear piece twice and the antler four times. Cut out each piece.
