Step 8Yoshi Head (Chin Strap)
Test fittings were good, but I wanted it to be a little more secure so, I added a chin strap.
I did this by taking a kids construction play hat and took out the inside plastic ring. I then took the chin strap off of a Goodwill bike helmet and fastened it to the plastic ring from the construction hat with eyelets (I would have used rivets, but I couldn't find the right size). One lesson learned is make sure you put the chin straps forward a little... otherwise it will bother the neck.
Then I glued the plastic head piece in place, and some cloth lining on the inside of the head to keep a barrier between my sons head and the styrofoam. I used the adhesive for the chin strap since the there was not a tight fit between it and the styrofoam. The cloth I used the CA glue.
