How to make it

  1. Cut big white triangle teeth from foam board or felt and tape them along the top and bottom of the boot opening.
  2. Lay a red blanket or rug as the tongue, with the candy bowl on it.
  3. Tape two large paper eyes on the back window or roof.
  4. Wear a matching monster costume.
Tip: Use painter’s tape or magnets on paintwork — never duct tape.
