A Kippa For Purim, To Go With That Costume…….
Once I decorated a kippa with yarn spaghetti and meatballs for my son’s Purim costume, and this year I decorated a kippa with scales as part of a King of Dragons costume, which I’ll be sharing with you shortly. This decorated kippa pairs nicely with the king masquerade mask, so make them both! Truthfully, a kippa covered with scales could be perfect for any lizard, fish or bird (feathers and scales could look similar) costume, and is simple to make while making a fun statement. And of course, one could cover a kippa with a variety of shapes in the same way to make something equally exciting, right? Okay, Purim is coming so lets get started!
You’ll Need:
- an old kippa (yarmulka)
- felt
- hot glue
- scissors
- King masquerade mask tutorial here
How To:
Cut a piece of felt in a color that represents the body of the animal, in this case light orange, and glue that circle to the top of the kippa. Then start applying half circles in rounds, the first round is four half circles, and the second round is eight half circles. The next rows were also eight half circles though I made the shapes a bit bigger as I worked towards the outside. So simple and fun, enjoy!
