Making a Pucca Headpiece
To make Pucca's hair, you'll need a few simple materials and about twenty minutes. If you're making this costume for your child, it's a perfect activity to do together. Here's what you'll need:
- Black hat
- Black fabric
- Two foam balls
- Rubber bands
- Needle and black thread
- Scissors
- Red ribbon
- Start by buying a very basic black stocking cap that fits you or your child. The cap should be as simple as possible. Try to avoid cable knits or any kind of pattern.
- Next, buy a small amount of matching stretchy black fabric. For a perfect match, you could purchase a second stocking cap and disassemble it to get the fabric you need. However, any stretchy black fabric will work.
- Cut the black fabric into two circles, approximately eight inches in diameter. Place a foam ball in the center of each circle, and gather the fabric around it. Tie the fabric with a rubber band. You now have two round black balls.
- Carefully make two small slits in the sides of the hat. Push the gathered ends of the black fabric balls into these slits and sew them to the hat.
- Wrap red ribbon around the places where the black ponytail balls meet the hat. If desired, add a flower to one ponytail.
Don't Forget the Attitude!
No Pucca Halloween costume is complete without rosy cheeks and a fun-loving attitude. In your Pucca costume, you're sure to make everyone else have a fun-loving attitude too.
