Instructions
Remove the water bottle label. Then paint about two-thirds of it with black paint. You may want to do 2 coats of paint.
After the paint has dried, fill the water bottle with cotton balls.
Cut out some wing shapes and a long rectangle for the head out of black foam. Cut out a beak and feet out of the yellow foam.
Wrap the black strip around the lid and hot glue in the back to attach. Glue the wings on the side as well.
To make the hat, measure a piece of felt around the head to make sure it will be the right size to fit over the head.
Then, glue the strip to form a cylinder shape.
Tie a piece of string around the center of the cylinder and cinch tight.
Trim off the top and strings and glue to attach to the head. Glue on the eyes and beak as well.
Wrap another piece of felt around the neck and glue down for a scarf.
