• Step 1

  Once the sock is reversed, add the oval of green sticky felt for the mouth interior, cut slightly smaller than the cardboard oval, and put a medium amount of head fluff in the top for structure.

• 

  Step 2

  EYES: Lincoln’s eyes are two small, lidded almonds. Using white craft foam, cut out two ½ in (13 mm) ovals. Using a black marker, add a black dot in the center of each. Cut out two small brown lids, about half the size of the eyeball. Attach the lid to the eyeball, being careful not to cover over the eye dot—nobody wants a sleepy president. Glue each eye 1⁄8 in (3 mm) up from the mouth, and
  ¼ in (6 mm) apart.

• 

  Step 3

  NOSE: Mr. Lincoln commanded the respect of the nation, and he had a big old nose! Using yellow craft foam, cut out a 1 in (2.5 cm) long tapered triangle, ½ in (13 mm) wide at the base. Glue it tucked tightly between the eyes, slightly overhanging the edge of the mouth.

• 

  Step 4

  BEARD: Cut out a rectangle of gray fur about 3 in (7.5 cm) long x 2 in (5 cm) wide. Glue along the edge of the bottom of the mouth, letting the remainder hang forward over his body.

• 

  Step 5

  HAIR: Using more gray fur, cut out a small rectangle about
  1½ in (4 cm) x 1 in (2.5 cm). Glue it about 1½ in (4 cm) back from the eyes, slightly to the left, in order to leave room for his mighty hat.
