Elmo... The Halloween!!!






Elmo looks sooooo cute in his wizards costume I made him! I bet when he finds the bag of candy we are saving for people who want to trick or treat at my place we're doomed (Elmo is a chocoholic) The hat took a looooong time to make well actually the main reason for that was because I lost the tape... anyway here are the instructions (by the way if you have a girl puppet these instructions can be changed to fit princess and witch costumes.


Wizard's Hat:

What you need:
Tape
Scissors
Pens, Pencils, Crayons, Stickers ect. (Your choice)

Instructions:
1. Cut out 2 drink bottle bottom sized circles (I am hinting at using your drink bottle to trace...)
2. Find the centre of both circles and mark a dot in the middle of the circles (It's better to make the dots the same colour as what your hats colour is going to be)
3. Choose 1 of the circles and cut to the middle dot but no further (in other words... DON'T cut the circle in half)
4. Decorate the circles (make sure you only use flat decorations otherwise the hat won't work if you want to add stickers and other things that stick out add them when you're done)
5. Shape the circle thats cut to the dot into a triangle and tape it so it won't fall apart.
6. Stick the triangle to the other circle.
7. Measure a ring that fits your middle finger (... embarrassing its THE finger...)
8. Tape it to the bottom of your hat.
9. PLace it on your puppet hand.
10. DEVOUR MOUNDS OF CANDY!!!!!! (sorry about that Elmo wrote it he's pretty evil sometimes...)
11. Anyway... Enjoy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
