Instructions
Shrek:
- Using brown felt, cut 2 vest shapes. Attach the seams using hot glue. Cut the front opening up the middle and two holes on each side. Cut a thin strip of black felt. Use this strip to tie the top two holes together.
- Cut 2 rectangles and 2 circles of green felt. Roll the rectangles and hot glue them closed to create Shrek's ears. Hot glue the end of the ear roll to the circle of green felt. Attach the circle end of the ear to the zip hoodie using hem tape.
Donkey:
- Cut 2 oversized ear shapes from gray fur. Lay them flat with the fur side down. Using hot glue, attach pipe cleaners along the edges of the ears, rolling inward as the glue dries. Attach ears and small tuft of black fur to the headband using hot glue.
- Cut another tuft of black fur and attach it to the end of a long strip of gray felt to create the tail.
- Cut 2 black rectangles for the hooves. Attach the cuffs to the wrists of the zip hoodie using hem tape.
Puss in Boots:
- For the boots, cut a 9x12 piece of black felt in half. Attach the edge of one piece of the felt to the inside top edge of a rain boot using hem tape. Fold over the boot.
- To create the sword, using a hot knife, melt a hole in the top of the plastic ornament half. Thread the wooden dowel through and hot glue to secure in the right place. Spray paint it with silver spray paint.
- Pair with a cape or make your own using a rectangular piece of black felt.
- Pin up one side of a black hat using a safety pin. Add a feather to the hat.
