HOWTO make a Frankenstein hat

Delia Creates made this awesome kids' Frankenstein's monster hat for her son, Owen. She started with an off the peg Frankenstein suit and then modded for great excellence.

Hey Frankie! [deliacreates.blogspot.com]

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    What are you talking about? The kid is just getting into character. He’s having a blast.
    
    How would it even be possible to be unhappy with a hat like that?

      I made no such statement about him being unhappy with the hat. Apparently my jest of this Angry new prometheus was mistaken for ignorance. I was quite negligent of my duties and forgot to add s .

  Hey, I like the hat. And I assume that’s a “monster face”. But I swear I’ve seen that look on a teacup poodle wearing a macrame choker.

Correction, mom made the hat from scratch after *seeing* an off the rack costume & hat. Bigger props (HA!) to her. (HA!)
