- Today, Cookie Monster and I are turning an old backpack

into a shark costume.

- Wah, shark!

Shark!

- Cookie, Cookie. - There's a shark!

There's a shark right there.

- I know, I know.

- [Cookie] Watch out be careful.

- Cookie, it's not real.

It's a backpack.

We're making it.

So, this craft is perfect for Halloween, dress up,

or just to have a really awesome backpack.

- Yeah, follow along and make your own shark costume.

- So here are the supplies you'll need;

an old backpack, cardboard.

For this we're actually using an old cookie box.

Some white felt, large googly eyes, duct tape,

a hot glue gun, tape measure, and scissors.

- Where do we start?

- Okay, so step one, make our shark teeth.

So first we're gonna take a tape measure,

and we're gonna measure the zipper of the backpack.

And now we're gonna take it over there to the felt,

right here to the felt.

So this is how long are teeth will be.

And it's okay if you need to use more than one felt sheet

to make your teeth.

So, Cookie, do you wanna draw the top and bottom teeth?

- Me would love that.

Wavy, wavy, wavy.

There.

Now what?

- Now we cut the teeth out.

- Oh okay, wait a minute?

You've got to make sure that you ask a grown up

to help you cut out teeth.

Very important. - Yes.

Yes, I'll help you Cookie Monster.

- You a grown up?

- I am.

- Then start cutting.

Snip, snip.

- We've got teeth.

- Oh, wow!

- Yeah. - They look toothy.

- Let's try them on.

Oh, yeah.

- Ah. - Nice smile, Cookie.

- Uh-huh.

- So once we've got two sets of these

for the top and the bottom,

we're gonna glue them on to our backpack.

Make sure to have an adult use the hot glue gun

'cause it gets very, very hot.

- Very hot, you know what?

Me gonna, me gonna stand back.

- Yeah.

- You know what, me gonna go even further back.

- Okay.

- You know what, me gonna go back here.

- Oh, however, that's fine, that works.

- Sorry, me no can, what?

- What?

(upbeat music)

Pretty good, right?

- Yeah, that look like shark mouth.

- Yeah, it does.

Next, is step two, create our shark fins.

We're gonna need three triangles.

So I've already made two triangles,

but we need one big triangle and two little triangles.

- Two little.

- Yeah. - We need another little.

- We need another little.

- Right. - So, I would like you

to trace my little triangle.

- Little triangle coming up.

There.

- Nice.

- Thank you.

- All right, now we are gonna cut it out.

- Oh, okay.

- So now, we're gonna take our big fin

and we're gonna fold it in half.

We're gonna take our tape and we're gonna wrap our fins

so that they look like a shark fins.

So, I finished taping up mine.

Cookie, how'd you do on your fin?

- Me little stuck.

- Aye yi yi, okay, okay. - Little stuck here.

- So, now once you have your three fins all taped up,

it's time to attach them to the bag.

- Oh.

- Mm-hm, and you can use tape or hot glue.

We are gonna use tape.

So, Cookie, yup, please hold it there for a second

and I'm gonna tape it.

(upbeat music)

Cookie, we did it!

- Wow. - We did it!

- That looks terrific.

- It sure is, we have one more step.

Step three, add our shark eyes.

Okay, so we're gonna take our googly eyes.

- Oh, hey.

- Mm-hm.

- Those look vaguely familiar.

- Oh, I can't imagine why.

And then we're gonna put them right here,

on the backpack, right on top.

So for this we are gonna use the glue gun.

- Oh. - And remember, it's hot.

- Yeah, because the stuff there.

- I'm gonna put the glue on the googly eyes.

- [Cookie] One googly eye.

- One googly eye.

Two googly eyes.

Ta-da!

Our finished shark costume.

- Look me Cookie shark.

- Hey.
