May 21st is Talk Like Yoda Day! And what better way to celebrate than by your wearing your very own Yoda ears!
You will need :
8" x 11" piece of green felt
8" x 11" piece of paper
Scissors
2 green pipe cleaners
Fabric glue
Stapler
Staples
1 writing utensil
Take your piece of paper.
Fold it in half.
Draw the shape below, and cut it out.
Take the cut out, which looks like an over sized sperm and put it aside.
Take your piece of green felt.
Fold it in half.
Take your cut out, place it on top the folded piece of felt, and cut out the shape of the sperm from your felt.
Now you have two green sperm!
Cut an “x” out of the middle.
Just big enough to fit your ear through.
Notice how the ears just hang limp?
That’s what the pipe cleaners are for!
Curl the pipe cleaners around the ear holes, with the excess pipe cleaner running along the middle of the “sperm’s tail”. One cleaner per sperm.
Use the fabric glue to stick the shaped pipe cleaner to the green felt.
Let it dry.
When that doesn’t work, or you get tired of waiting, use your stapler and staples to staple the pipe cleaner to the green felt.

I told you that you and Andy would want to play along at home! ^_^
Great idea!! The step by step instructions and pics were very helpful. I used a thin sheet of green foam instead of felt and it worked really well too ~ THANKS!!
You are very welcome, sperkins! I'm glad to have been of help.
