2 . Once you have an idea , start with a base — we used black — and hot glue it to the bottle .
3 . Cut out other desired pieces such as an apron , collar , shirt , bonnet , hat , etc . Hot glue them to desired areas . For the man ’ s hat , cut a circle with a hole in the center for the essential oil bottle . This will allow the lid to act as the top of the hat .
4 . Once the basics are finished you can add details . Tie a bow for the woman with yarn or embroidery floss , add a belt buckle with yellow felt or paper — whatever your heart desires .
