eyestalks

step 25: head gear

 

this step is optional, and the costume is pretty cute without it. things look more complete if you're wearing something on your head, though. here, i've wrapped 2 lengths of wire around a regular plain flat headband, covered the wire with red fleece (cut out a long slender rectangle with a rounded end, sew the edges together, turn right side out, and pull down over the wire), and hot-glued googly eyes to the ends. bend the wires to whatever shape you like.

 

other options would be to put googly eyes on a red beanie cap, put long hair into wire-stiffened pippi-longstalking-type pigtail braids with googly-eye ends, or purchase a crab costume hat.
