Deranged Orange Halloween Heads

Create these easy "Deranged" Halloween heads as a fun classroom craft.  To make this craft I used oranges for the base of the head.  I wanted to use oranges so that after Halloween kids have a healthy food option.  - Fun little twist on all the candy that usually accompanies Halloween festiveness.

Materials:
Black 6" Tulle
Rubber-bands
Googly Eyes
Foam
Halloween Foam Stickers
Green Pipe Cleaners
Craft Feathers
Glue Dots Craft
Scissors
Pinking Sheers (optional)

Instructions:
1. Purchase oranges to use to create your deranged Halloween heads.






2. Cut two tulle strips, 12" long.  Fold the strips and half and the place then in a X.  Place the orange in the center.





3. Hold the tulle in place with a small rubber-band.




4. Trim the top of the tulle with pinking sheers.


5. Wrap a pipe cleaner around the top of the rubber-band.  Add a feather to the pipe cleaner.  Twirl the ends of the pipe cleaner around your finger to create fun ringlets.

6. Using Glue Dots Craft attach googly eyes, a nose, mouth, and some Halloween foam stickers.

* I will be bringing oranges into my daughter's 3rd grade class to make this craft.  However, I will cut the tulle and rubber-band it in place for all the kids.  The kids should have fun decorating the heads but the tulle might be too difficult.
