Turn the kids into your own adorable sidekicks with these simple DIY headbands inspired by Pua and Heihei from Moana.


What You’ll Need:

  • Pencil
  • Regular paper
  • Scissors
  • Foam sheets (golden-yellow, red, white, grey, pink)
  • Hot glue

How to Make It:

  1. Draw out pua’s ears and grey spots onto foam sheets. You will need two white ear shapes and two smaller, pink ear shapes for the inner ear.
  2. Measure and draw out a piece of white foam that will completely cover the outer edge of the headband.
  3. Hot glue the white foam piece onto the outer edge of the headband.
  4. Hot glue the pink inner ear shapes to the white outer ear shapes.
  5. Gently roll the inner edge of the ear shapes to create a floppy ear effect. Hot glue each ear shape into place on top of the headband.
  6. Hot glue the grey spots onto the headband. Make sure to hot glue one spot onto Pua’s left ear. Let dry completely before wearing.
  7. Draw out an abstract shape onto red foam for the comb on top of Heihei’s head.
  8. Measure and draw out a piece of golden-yellow foam that will completely cover the outer edge of the headband.
  9. Hot glue the red comb into place on top of the headband. Let dry completely before wearing.
