Costume Instructions
START BY TAKING THE RUBBER BALLS (ANY COLOR) AND DRAWING A 3 DIMENSIONAL FACE ON THEM WITH ELMER'S GLUE.(MAKE IT THICK) LET THE GLUE THOROUGHLY DRY. PAINT THE RUBBER BALLS THE COLOR OF THE PAINT. WE USED GREEN, BUT YOU CAN CHOSE ANY COLOR. AFTER DRY, USE THE TINY BOTTLES OF PAINT TO GO OVER THE ELMER'S GLUE, LIPS, EYES, ETC. GLUE ON ANY HATS THAT YOU DECIDE TO USE ON THE TOP OF THE RUBBER BALL. PUT THE RUBBER BALLS ASIDE AS THEY ARE FINISHED FOR NOW.
TAKE A BUCKET TO MIX THE CLOTHES DYE, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. PUT IN THE GLOVES, THE LEGGINGS,FABRIC, SWEATSHIRTS AND THE NETTING TO MAKE THEM ALL THE SAME COLOR, DON'T WORRY IF THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR, IT WILL LOOK FINE.
TAKE THE STURDY CARDBOARD AND ROLL INTO A CYLINDER THE LENGTH OF THE NECK YOU WANT AND THE RIGHT WIDTH FOR YOUR CHILD'S HEAD. THEY MUST BE ABLE TO FIT THEIR HEAD IN, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE TO BIG OR IT WILL NOT STAND UPRIGHT WHEN WEARING. GLUE AND CLAMP. PAINT THE COLOR OF THE RUBBER BALLS. STAND THE CYLINDERS UPRIGHT AND USE A VERY STURDY GLUE TO ATTACH THE RUBBER BALLS TO THE TOP.
NOW YOU ARE READY TO FIT THE HEAD TO YOUR CHILD. PUT THE CYLINDER OVER THEIR HEAD AND JUDGE WHERE THE HOLE SHOULD BE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO SEE. START WITH A SMALLER SQUARE HOLE AND KEEP MAKING IT BIGGER UNTIL THE CHILD IS COMFORTABLE. CUT THE NETTING YOUR HAVE DYED THE SAME COLOR A FEW INCHES BIGGER THAN THE HOLE IN THE NECK AND GLUE TO THE INSIDE. THAT IS WHERE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK OUT OF AND TO BREATH COMFORTABLY.

PAINT THE RUBBER FEET THE COLOR OF THE HEAD.

USE ACCESSORIES SUCH AS HATS, APRON, NECKTIE ETC.

USE THE FABRIC TO MAKE A VERY SIMPLE DOLL. JUST SEW TWO PIECES OF DYED MATERIAL TOGETHER THE SHAPE OF A DOLL AND TURN INSIDE OUT.
