Draw (if you need to, but feel free to go freehand for a lovely quirky shape) a long oval face shape for the cow, on the brown felt, you'll also need the brown for the ears, nostrils and smile, so cut those out too. Use the beige for the snout and some white for the horns.
Roughly cut lots of 5cm pieces of yarn for the highland cow's shaggy mane and set aside.
Apply glue to all the felt pieces and assemble them together, add some buttons and googly eyes.
Cut around the edge of the picture to finish.
Tip: If you wanted you could attach elastic or a stick to make it a mask.
