1. Create eyes by cutting 2 of the styrofoam balls into 2/3 the size.  Wrap and glue orange felt around two pieces of pool noodle appox. 1″x4″ in size.

2. Wrap and glue two pieces of orange felt around a large piece of pool noodle the size of the bottom section of your mouth opening.  My foam piece was approx. 3″x30″.

3.  Wrap and glue a piece of red felt around the third ball of styrofoam.

4.  Glue the seven triangles to the large bottom “lip” that you previously created.

5.  Glue the black cotton to the bottom lip of the head base.

6.  Glue velcro to the inside of the top lip and to the inside edge of the top of the black cotton.  This creates the inside of the mouth where the top can be velcroed into place or removed for better visibility.

7.  Glue the features (eyes, nose and mouth) to the head.  Cut a tongue shape from red felt and glue that into the mouth on the black cotton.

8. Glue feather boa everywhere!  Black feathers for eyebrows and red and orange everywhere else.  I cut some individual feathers to place around the head strategically as well.

9. Draw pupils onto the eyes with a sharpie.
