We all know what a useful sheep Shaun can be –

he's always trying to help Bitzer out (normally from

trouble that the rest of the flock has caused!), and

now he's offering to help you out as well! No – he's

not going to teach you how to play football with a

cabbage – but he is going to look after all your

letters, notes and pictures. Want to know how?

Well, just follow these simple steps to make your

own Shaun memo holder, and see for yourself!

Place the head template on the cardboard, draw aroundit and cut it out. Repeat this. You're going to need twohead pieces – one for the front, and one for the back.

Take one of the cardboard headtemplates, put some glue onto it, and stickit onto the black felt. Then, cut around thetemplate, but leave a border of about halfa centimetre, so the black felt is biggerthan the cardboard (see picture). Repeatthis for the other head piece as well.

Using the templates, make twoear pieces from the black felt.
