Instructions
For Koopa Troopa
- Cut the eyes from white and black adhesive felt and attach to the hood of your zip hoodie.
- Complete the look with a red turtle shell – or make one using red and white felt with stuffing!
For Piranha Plant
- Using two styrofoam half balls, cut the mouth hole, head hole, and hot glue them together to create the piranha plant’s head.
- Cut a slit in a thin pool noodle and attach to the edge of the mouth with hot glue.
- Cover the head in red and white adhesive felt.
- Cut different size circles from white adhesive felt and attach those to the head. Cut triangles from white craft foam and attach those to the mouth with hot glue for the teeth.
- Cut two circles from cardboard (or use two 16” cardboard cakeboards). Cut smaller holes (12” or 14”) in the center of these.
- Using hot glue on the edge of the cardboard, attach sheets of green craft foam to form a cylinder.
- Add more green craft foam to the top of the cylinder to create the pipe shape. Attach strips of green ribbon inside the lip for the shoulder straps.
For Shy Guy
- Cut an oval shape for the mask from a sheet of white craft foam. Cut three holes for the eyes and mouth. Attach it to a piece of brown leather ribbon using hot glue.
- Cut a small rectangle belt buckle from yellow craft foam. Attach to a black belt using adhesive sheets.
