How to put it together
- 1
Put on the bright yellow hooded sweatshirt or fleece onesie and matching yellow sweatpants.
- 2
Cut scalloped wing shapes from the yellow felt sheets, making them long enough to span from your armpit to your wrist.
- 3
Attach the felt wings along the undersides of the sweatshirt sleeves using fabric glue or safety pins.
- 4
Cut several jagged, vertical spikes from stiff yellow felt to mimic Woodstock's messy head feathers.
- 5
Glue or pin the felt spikes to the top of the yellow knit beanie so they stand upright.
- 6
Cut a small triangle from orange felt and attach it to the front of the beanie to serve as a beak.
- 7
Put on the beanie and finish the look with your bright orange sneakers.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup simple with a touch of yellow face paint on the cheeks, and paint a small orange triangle on the tip of your nose for a beak. If you prefer not to wear a hat, style your hair in messy, spiked sections using temporary yellow hair color spray.
