Paint the posters

Paint both sides of both banners in the color of your choice. On the outer sides, you only need to paint a thick border because that's where you'll be gluing your screen prints. Let the paint dry for about an hour.

Take a screenshot of your phone screen and take a picture of the back of another phone. Send the images to a copy center to enlarge them. Adhere the enlarged images to the posters.

Create a border around the screen

Unfold the image and make sure there are no bubbles. Cut the poster sheet into four strips 1" wide, two 15" long and two 21" long. Glue strips around the print to make a frame. Use the magic marker to draw a circle in the center top of the chamber Lay both pieces of card flat on top of each other Drill holes for the shoulder straps and side (waist) straps Mark one dot on the top left of both boards and one straight on the bottom top right, and one on each side about half way through. Drill holes with a screwdriver or scissor blade. Attach both boards together with pipe cleaners. Leave enough room for a head to slide through, and then turn the pipe cleaners pipes accordingly.

Make the headphones

For our headphones we used two household scrubbing sponges because they had a loop for a string. You can use a set of potholders or any other round object that can be tied with string.

Cut two 10" x 10" squares of cotton batting or roll. Place the sponge in the middle of the batting. Wrap the batting around the sponge. Make a small hole for the loop of the sponges to come out of the batting. Use a glue gun to secure the batting. Thread the rope through the loops and tie a knot.
