Step 1: The Eyes

I used ping pong balls and electrical tape to make the eyes. The great part about this is that you can move the tape as often as you want on the "eyeball" to change its expression!

A penny works as the perfect template for the pupil. As you can see, I stuck a penny to the tape, cut out around it, and then stuck it to the ping pong ball. Twice.

Of course, you could use styrofoam balls and paint too!

Needed a quick costume idea that wouldn't totally distract from work duties tomorrow and this is PERFECT. Ran to Wal-Mart, got the materials, and finished it in less than an hour. Great instructable - thank you!

My costume that I wore today. My mom and I painstakingly slaved away for weeks, and ended up with a hoodie for every bird, as well as a pig (complete with a crown.) Best Halloween ever!

Here we are at my school's contest for "Best Group Costume". Sadly, we didn't win. A small detail that I love is that we made three mini blue bird for the blue bird to "split" into :D.

Thanks for sharing! 3-mo Pro coming your way!

I think that deserves a one YEAR PRO Membership for awesomeness, mini blue bird, being a group project, and as a consolation prize for not winning!

So how well will the hot glue stand when being put through a washer and dryer? I am planning on making one of these for my brother, but I am not sure what todo when it comes to washing it.

You just want me to throw myself at you.

Madrigorne in reply to scoochmarooNov 9, 2011. 11:08 AM

I want you to throw yourself at Angie too. On video! (you make the best ideas)

That would make a pretty good video. I think we're going to need a very large slingshot. . .

dalovedr says: Nov 8, 2011. 11:32 AM

Thanks for the Awesome Idea and inspiration! for $30 had two made in 1.5 hours.

You could actually have "Angry Bird" conventions in your cities if enough people did this.

Then you could make an urban film, "Birdz in the Hoodies".

This is totally awesome!

That's awesome! I'd make it, but I already have too many projects going as it is, and I also already have an awesome Doctor Who costume for Halloween! I may make it for my friend's birthday, however. I got her an Angry Bird stuffed animal last year, and she wanted a big one this year - this would be bigger than she expected!

Turned out really well and, as I work at a university, it got some fantastic reactions today! Some people actually thought it was store-bought instead of home-made!

(Sorry, noticed some typos - wanted to fix them!)
