Tips for Hulk-Sized Muscles
The Hulk is all about bulk, so stuff the arms and chest extra firmly to create those exaggerated muscles, and use a slightly looser tension on the body so it looks massive next to the head. Embroider simple black hair with a jagged hairline, and add the purple shorts with a ripped zigzag edge, either cut from felt or worked with pointed stitches. A furrowed brow completes the smashing expression.
A Smashing Gift for Marvel Fans
The Hulk is a guaranteed favorite for Marvel fans, kids who love big strong heroes and collectors of the Avengers team.
