Your little guy will be perfectly sweet, not scary, with glittering scales of scouring pads!

• 1 yard green felt
• Green hoodie
• 1 yard green rickrack
• Green scouring pads
• 2 small plastic cups
• Green craft paint
• 2 bicycle reflectors
• 12 inches red rickrack
• Pipe cleaner

Snout: Paint plastic cups green; glue reflectors across the top of each. Trim with red rickrack, as shown. Glue cup bottoms to front edge of hood.

Ears: Cut out 4 green-felt triangles. Cut pipe cleaner in half; sandwich each half between 2 triangles and glue edges together. Glue ears to hood and gently bend, as shown.
