   Step 1: Measure from one temple to the other (that section between the edge of your eye and your hairline) hairline to hairline.

   Fold tape in half.
   
   Write this measurement on your newspaper. , Fold tape in half.
   
   Write measurement., Measure from outer edge to temple hairline.
   
   Write measurement., From center fold out.
   
   Mark it.,, Add full 3rd measurement.
   
   Mark it., It should fit snugly with in the temple to hairline measurement onto nose bridge measurement.,,,, Open it.
   
   Verify that the pattern works for you.
   
   Adjust if necessary.
   
   If you are not happy, retake the measurements and try again., Measure fit mason jar lid by pushing it into the ocular-to-be hole.
   
   Keep in mind u will use fabric to adjust this par too.
   
   Since it fits, take it out, flatten pattern once again and go to the next step., Make sure to leave 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) for seam allowance (trim the fur in seam allowance to make it easier to sew together)., Use the pattern or not.
   
   Difference will mean as to how strong and "stiff" the end result will be.
   
   I chose to use the cardboard form., Heat glue gun., This will help keep the piece in place., You could use the smooth upholstery ad bottom (nearer to the head) and glued it to the pattern first then sew the fur onto it., Mark on two lids opposite with the sharpie., And the empty CD case(s).
   
   Could be the same color or different ones, what ever matches the clothing style or clear
   - I used blue),,,** Use the Phillips screwdriver and hammer to make a hole for the screw of the spike.,, Mind instructions. (Dries fast, so work quickly).
   
   Let dry for recommended time., Fix in place with the hot glue on certain spots., Let dry. (May need to do this to inside as well), Let dry in between coats., Get the measuring tape out and the other side of the box (or newspaper)., Measure from one side to the other on the underside of the back of your head.
   
   Write the measurement.,,, Fold over in half several times (making sure to keep newspaper straight).
   
   Cut the folded paper, from measure to measure, into a 3 inch (7.6 cm) strips.
   
   Extend strips.
   
   They should measure to meet the above stated measurements with the added seams).,,, Open towels and move strips carefully.
   
   Replace towel.
   
   Iron.
   
   Repeat., Cut a right angled square on all four sides to help fold in when sewing., Pin., Take pins off.
   
   Sew.
   
   Repeat to the other strip.
   
   Now you have 2 long strips., Just like with the longer strips.
   
   Fold in 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) on all 4 sides.
   
   Pin.
   
   Iron.
   
   Cut out right angle squares off the edges.
   
   Only difference is.... you will sew the seams down but these two pieces stay separate., 2 per side., However you do, loops need to face away from the ocular hole.,, To fit around bottom of lid (part to lay over your head),, Let dry.,,,,,, Dread falls, etc),
