Tips for E.T.’s Gentle Soul
E.T.’s magic is in his long neck and big, watery eyes: stuff the neck firmly so it holds its graceful curve, and choose oversized safety eyes positioned slightly droopy at the outer corners for his tender expression. The red glowing fingertip can be made with a small circle of red felt or a few French knots. A tiny blue hoodie, worked as a simple tube, recreates the most famous movie scene.
