For the eyes:

  • Cut a styrofoam ball in half. Cut out Kermit's black eyes from black felt and hot glue to the center of each styrofoam half.
  • Lay the styrofoam halves on a sheet of felt about a two inches apart. Trace about half an inch extra around the edges of the eyes with a center connecting bar in the middle and cut out.
  • Hot glue the styrofoam eyes onto the felt and glue onto an elastic green headband.

For the collar:

  • Cut a large circle from a sheet of lime green craft foam and cut a smaller circle in the center for the neck opening.
  • Cut a slit from the outside of the circle to the inside circle opening, and cut out long narrow triangles all around the outside edge of the circle.
  • Attach the collar around the neck with double sided fabric tape.
