How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white long-sleeve shirt and white pants as your base layer.
- 2
Prepare the white cylinder body by cutting out the bottom of the laundry hamper or securing your foam board shape.
- 3
Carefully cut two armholes on the sides of the white cylinder, ensuring they are level and comfortable.
- 4
Cut out Master Shake's eyes (black circles with smaller blue circles inside) and his simple black line mouth from the felt sheets.
- 5
Glue or tape the felt eyes and mouth onto the upper front portion of the white cylinder.
- 6
Attach the pink pool noodle to the top inner rim of the cylinder using strong tape or hot glue so it arches upward like a straw.
- 7
Slip the cup body over your torso, pull your arms through the armholes, and put on the yellow gloves.
Makeup & hair
No hair or makeup is required since your head is hidden inside the cup structure, but you can wear black face paint around your eyes if they are visible through any viewing holes.
