Cut a small slot in the bottom of the spice bottle big enough to fit the stick stirrer. Now take the Styrofoam ball an insert the stirrer into the ball. Paint the ball fleshcolor and let dry. Cut a three inch circle of blue felt and make a slit. Glue the felt to the ball to make a hat; you may have to overlap on the slit. Let dry. When dry, take the blue chenille stem and cut a small piece for the visor of the hat. Cut a triangle from the felt for the neckerchief (light blue or yellow, depending whether you want a Wolf or Bear Cub). Twist the piece of red chenille stem into a circle for a neckerchief slide. Cut and glue blue construction paper around the bottle for the body. Use the black marker for a belt and leg markings. Glue the bump chenille on for arms. Put neckerchief on, using the red slide. Glue on wiggle eyes and pink pompoms for hands. You can use the bottle for mints or nuts by untwisting the cap.
