Step 1: Prep
Firstly get your old helmet and decide on a character. I chose Cookie Monster
You will need
Special auto helmet glue but normal spray can be used at own risk (available from most motor centres as not to ruin or damage helmet and void safety )
Scissors
Fabric in your own choice of colour
Cable ties
Socks or white fabric to make and stuff eyes
Sewing kit

Step 2: Step 2
I ordered 1meter squared but found this was more than enough fabric
If you can remove all parts on the exterior of the helmet (visor and any clips) not realy needed can be done without but easier for later
Lay out fabric and use helmet to trace and roll around the back of fabric to get your rough template

Step 3: Step 3
Leaving quite a thick edge around your tracing line cut out and place over helmet
I started at the back add a small amount of glue running around te bottom rim of the helmet as a start making sure it will cover the while helmet in the correct places

Step 4: Step 4
When glue is set normally a few mins make a hole in the fabric where you wish to month the eyes
I used 2 whie socks brought for £1 and cut the toe area and stuffed the rest in and sewed them up to make them round but you can use what u wish

Step 5: Hard Part
Now use cable ties and push through the sewed part of the eyes so it can be seen and then thread through the hole in fabric and tie off
This was the easiest ways to keep them I'm place and when all stick down will keep them from coming off
