Yip Yip Costume

Step 7 Creating the eyes

While inside the costume, have someone else mark a good position for the eyes, just based on whatever looks best. Another option is to lay the costume out flat on the floor, then lay the eyes on the approximate area according to what appears symmetric. Once you have that, you can hot-glue the balls directly onto the fabric. I prefer to have the eyes touching each other, so I glue them together as well.

Test the eye position by placing the costume on with the beanie a comfortable and even place, then look if the eyes appear to be straight and level. When that is taken care of, cut out a pair of circles for the pupils out of black paper (mine were about 1" in diameter), and glue them onto the Styrofoam balls.
