Carboard
Brown felt
Boxing gloves (here)
White face paint (for the milk mustache)
Glass of milk
Headband
Hot glue gun
Scissors

1. Cut a circle out of cardboard about 6″ in diameter and cut small squares out of brown felt. 

2. Hot glue the squares onto the cardboard circle to make a cookie. Hot glue the whole thing to a headband.

3. With white face paint, draw a “milk mustache” above your top lip. You’re one tough cookie!

   

Star-shaped glasses (here)
Wooden stars (large and small)
Hot glue gun
Silver paint
Small paint brush

1. With the silver paint, paint a handful of large and small stars. 

2. Once they are dry, hot glue them in a random assortment to the star-shaped glasses.

3. You could even put on a silver outfit to look like one giant starry-eyed costume!

 

Party hat
Poop emoji cut-outs
Small honeycombs
Small balloons
Festooning
Hot glue gun
Headband
Scissors

1. Print and cut out images of the poop emoji. Hot glue them to your party hat.

2. Inflate some small balloons and begin to hot glue those and small honeycombs to your headband to create a party tower on your head.

3. Put on the headband and party hat, wrap some festooning around your shoulders and look extremely disinterested about parties!

   

Polyester fiberfill (here)
Wire
Headband

1. Break up the fiberfill into little clouds and pull at it a bit to create lumps. 

2. With your wire, create a hook on one end and hook one of the clouds onto it. 

3. With the other end of your wire, wrap around the headband until secure. Put a few more clouds onto the headband and your head will be in the clouds!

       

Feathers (here)
Hot glue gun
Headband
Yellow face paint (for the beak)

1. Take your feathers and hot glue them in an upward position on your headband.

2. With the yellow face paint, paint your whole nose to look like a beak.

3. Put on an outfit to match your feathers. Are you feeling bird-brained yet?

           

3″ foam ball (here)
Red paint
Small paint brush
Red pipe cleaner
Headband
Hot glue gun
Scissors

1. With the red paint, paint the whole foam ball.

2. Once it has dried, puncture a small hole in one area of the ball and stick the red pipe cleaner in the hole. Trim the end of the pipe cleaner so it is not too long and bend it to a curve.

3. Hot glue this to the headband slightly off center, pretty please with a cherry on top!
