Ant antennae (Be an ant…AND go onstage!)

You need:
A stiff headband, any color
Two pipe cleaners
Two large sized colored pom-poms

Directions:

  1. Fold one pipe cleaner in half. Slip one pom-pom in the center of the pipe cleaner where the fold is located.
  2. Twist the pipe cleaner around the pom-pom, and then keep twisting the pipe cleaner halves together. It will look a little bit like a candy cane!
  3. Twist the end of the pipe cleaner around the headband, just off the center.
  4. Fluff up the pom-pom so it covers the top end of the pipe cleaner.
  5. Repeat directions 1-4 with the other pipe cleaner and pom-pom.
  6. TA DA! If you want to look extra crazy, try bending the antennae a little!
