Gather Supplies
-
Cut each shape out with room around the edge
-
Staple the shape to the foam outside the shape to hold it in place.
-
-
-
Cut out the rest of the shapes using the same method.
-
-
-
Glue the shapes together.
-
-
-
Trim away any excess foam visible around the edges by holding your cutter at an angle.
-
-
-
Choose two LEDs to be the glow of the eyes.
-
Poke the legs through the foam at the desired location.
-
-
-
Insert the battery between the two legs. Make sure the long leg touches the "+" side of the battery and the short wire touches the "-".
-
You should have a light! (If you don't, flip the battery over)
-
Once you have a lit up LED, wrap a long piece of tape horizontally around the battery and legs to hold them together.
-
-
-
When the tape is secure, hold the LED in one hand and use the other hand to bend the battery flat against the back, with the positive side facing up and the negative side facing the foam.
-
Repeat LED steps to complete the other eye.
