<br />
Instructions for making a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">CARNIVAL HEADRESS</span><br />
You need the following ingredients and tools<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wRTahFtUfbk/TCSB5hIPKWI/AAAAAAAABZc/MfpY-fxkN38/s1600/camera_dump_june_2010_008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wRTahFtUfbk/TCSB5hIPKWI/AAAAAAAABZc/MfpY-fxkN38/s200/camera_dump_june_2010_008.JPG" width="200" /></a>Wire coat hanger preferably with the fine foam covering (but it's not really necessary).<br />
Plastic bag handles, corners and other bits in colours of your choice...plastic pan scrubs, nets from fruit etc.<br />
Hot iron<br />
Greaseproof paper<br />
Table or ironing board<br />
<br />
And here is how... <br />
Cover table/board with greaseproof paper and place coathanger on top<br />
Fold plastic bag handles around the top wire of the coat hanger so they stick up like rabbit ears or flames<br />
Put another layer of greaseproof over it Place hot iron over the paper so the plastic melts underneath (experiment with length of time, pressure, heat of iron). Gently remove the paper when plastic has melted. Add other pieces of plastic bag etc .so you have a row of 'rabbit ears' or 'flames' rising from the top of the coat hanger..<br />
Bend the bottom wire so it fits behind your head.<br />
Crown yourself or a friend with it<br />
Admire!<br />
<br />
Forget vuvuzelas - here are some instructions for making your own <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">BALLOON TRUMPET</span> to join in the sounds at the carnival...<br />

The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Miliband, presented £20,000 to Project Phakama and Emergency Exit Arts to lead a year long project in Tooting alongside Transition Town Tooting to use art, carnival, celebration and the collective ingenuity of all the community to create a large scale promenade on the 2010 summer solstice - from Trash! Using recycling as a metaphor, (and as piloted at June 13th BATCA Funday) the aim is to build a vision of a low-energy future for Tooting and have a lot of fun in the process.Transition Town Tootinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10405605090771491546noreply@blogger.com0
