Helmets are all a matter of preference - some heroes have shining bronze helms, others wear feathered caps, many wear none at all - it's up to you.

Captain Pinata

I just happened to have a roughly head-sized cardboard box handy, which a little sculpting turned into a large, open-fronted helmet.

Since pinatas are generally animal-shaped, I decided to give the helmet a pair of ears. More corrugated card, wrapped in more crepe paper. This time, though, I spiralled the strip around the whole ear - I took two strips, over-lapped, and taped the end to the base of the ear, then spiralled both strips around together, taping again at the top and trimming off the excess.

I glued them to the side of the helmet, angled slightly backwards in a vaguely animal-like style-ee.
