Place the white fabric over the top. Place the large ball halfway along the fabric and wrap the fabric around the ball. Secure with a hair elastic to make the head. Hold the end of the white fabric and add a hair elastic to create an arm. Repeat with the other end of the white fabric to create the other arm. Take one end of the silky fabric and add a hair elastic half way along to create a knee joint. Use a small ball at the end to create a foot. Wrap the fabric around the ball and secure with a hair elastic repeat this with the other end of the silky fabric to create the second leg. To create a face, add stickers to the large ball for eyes, nose and mouth. Using a hair elastic or two connect the two wooden spoons together to form a cross.
