Make a Daft Punk Helmet

Step 4 Adding the Ears

You now need to put together the ears, if you have not already done so. You need to cut the bottoms off of two aluminum soda cans, and the attach around them the Ears that the paper model pdf's contain. You may then attach them to the helmet with masking tape, and make sure they are nicely aligned, and symmetrical because once you put the fiberglass resin on them, it is hard to change.
You may now commence to vigorously sand the helmet, and await further instructions from me.

For the ear pieces you won't need anything but the long strips of paper (the large rectangles) I cut out the rectangles and looped them into a circle and then fit them around the top of a soda can. Fit them on so that the bottom of the can still looks like a bottom of a can. Cut the can where the paper ends and you'll end up with ears of the right size. You'll do this twice. Once for each ear. I just glued the paper around a couple soda cans, waited for it to dry, and then cut them with a sharp hobby (xacto) knife. Don't worry too much about the helmet looking perfect. Have a good time building it. You'll stress yourself out too much with the small details.
