    2. Sides: Cut two pieces, each 7 inches wide by 9 inches high.
    3. Top: Cut one piece, 7 inches wide by 18 inches long.
  1. Shape the Helmet:
    1. Curve the top edges of the front and back pieces to create a rounded helmet shape.
    2. Cut out a rectangle for the face shield on the front piece, approximately 6 inches long and 8 inches wide, with a 3-inch space in between the top and bottom lines.
  1. Assemble the Helmet:
    1. Tape the side pieces to the back piece, then attach the front piece.
    2. Tape the top piece to the assembled sides, front, and back.
  1. Cover with Felt:
    1. Glue red felt onto the entire helmet, trimming excess and gluing down the edges for a clean finish.
  1. Create the Face Shield:
    1. Cut a piece of mesh plastic canvas to fit the face shield opening.
    2. Paint the mesh with dark blue, light blue, and white acrylic paint to create the face shield effect.
    3. Attach the mesh to the helmet using hot glue.

2. Making the Backpack

  1. Cut and Assemble Cardboard:
    1. Cut a small box to the desired size for the backpack.
    2. Cover the box with red felt, gluing down the edges.
  1. Attach Straps:
    1. Cut two straps from black felt or fabric, each 3 inches wide and long enough to fit comfortably over your shoulders.
    2. Attach the straps to the backpack using hot glue or tape.

3. Completing the Outfit

  1. Dress in Red Clothing:
    1. Wear a red long sleeve shirt and red leggings to match the helmet and backpack.
    2. Optional: Add red shoes and gloves for a complete look.

Safety Tips

  • Visibility: Wearing the helmet can limit your vision. Be cautious of your surroundings to avoid accidents.
