    \r\n
  1. Take a sheet of blue felt and wrap it around a glass jar. With a pencil, mark where you will need to trim any excess felt off and cut the sheet to the correct size with scissors.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Stick some double sided tape across one side of the felt, then stick this to the jar by wrapping it around again.<\/li>\r\n
  3. For the collar, cut out two long rectangular pieces from white felt and stick these to the top of the jar using double sided tape. Make sure you leave a gap in the middle.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Cut out a tie shape from red felt, then stick this in between the two collar pieces using double sided tape.<\/li>\r\n
  5. From another piece of blue felt, cut out two shapes for the shirt pockets and stick these either side of the tie.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Finish by sticking two small buttons onto the front of each pocket.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Stick some self-adhesive foam letters onto the front of the tie to personalise it.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
