Things You'll Need

Cut a circle of brown fur to fit on the lid of the round cookie tin. Be sure to cut it slightly larger than the lid, so you have about 1/4-inch of extra fabric to glue down around the side of the rim. Hot glue it in place on the lid.

Cut a long strip of brown fur and glue it around the side of the cookie tin.

Step 3: Trim Off the Excess Faux Fur

Trim off any excess fur around the top of the tin to ensure the lid can close properly.

Step 4: Wrap the Wookie With brown Ribbon

Place the lid on the tin, and wrap a piece of brown ribbon diagonally across it. Glue the ends of the ribbon in place on the bottom of the tin.
