1. Cut out three circles all the same size, two from the brown and one from the white felt.

3. Using some tacky PVA glue, stick the white felt icing to the brown felt circles.
4. From the green felt cut out two small holly leaves and glue them to one of the Christmas puddings.
5. Position the red button on top of the holly leaves and sew in place with the red embroidery thread and needle.
6. Put the front and back puddings wrong sides together and, using the red embroidery thread and needle, blanket stitch around the edge.
