Wrap white yarn around a piece of cardboard and tie it off in the middle.  Cut the yarn off the cardboard. Tie a bead to the center tie.  This will create the nose.  Take 12 strands of yarn from each side of the middle tie. Combined and tie off.  Again add a bead.  Repeat along the other side of the middle tie.  Create six more "arms" by gathering around 20 strands and tying them.  Attach a bead to each one.  Glue eyes above the center bead and a felt mouth underneath the bead.  Attach a piece of yarn to the top arm to use as a hanger.
