- Scissors
- 2 (12- by 18-inch) sheets of red stiff felt (we used E-Z Felt brand)
- 9- by 12-inch sheet of black stiff felt
- Hole punch
- 2 yards of 1/2-inch-wide black ribbon
- Tacky glue
- 2 black pipe cleaners
- 2 (1-inch) red pom-poms
- Large marker
- Black electrical tape
- Brimmed black hat
How to make it
With scissors, cut 2 half-circle wings from the red felt. Cut four 3-inch circles from the black felt. (Download the spot template and wing template).
Overlap the wings as shown and punch 2 holes through both pieces of felt. Thread the ribbon through the holes.
Glue the circles onto the wings and let them dry (about 10 minutes).
For each antenna, wrap one end of a pipe cleaner tightly around a pom-pom. Twist the pipe cleaner around the marker to form a loose spiral, then tape the ends of the pipe cleaners behind the brim of the hat.
To tie on the wings, simply bring the ribbon over each shoulder, cross the pieces over your child's chest, then tie the ends together in the back.
