Creating the Mr. Happy Face

The most iconic part of the Mr. Happy costume is his smiling face. To create this, follow these steps:

Step Action
1 Draw a large, smiling face on the yellow felt, using the Mr. Happy illustrations as a reference.
2 Cut out the face, making sure to leave enough felt around the edges for sewing.
3 Using the yellow fabric paint, paint two small black circles for the eyes and a small black triangle for the mouth. Allow the paint to dry.
4 Carefully cut out the black felt to create the hair and the black outline around the face. Glue these pieces onto the yellow felt face.

Attaching the Face to the T-Shirt

Once your Mr. Happy face is complete, it's time to attach it to your yellow t-shirt. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Lay the t-shirt flat and place the Mr. Happy face in the center, making sure it's level.
  • Using the yellow thread, sew the face onto the t-shirt, following the outline of the black felt.
  • Once the face is securely attached, use the black thread to sew a black outline around the entire face, creating a border.

Creating the Mr. Happy Belly

To create the Mr. Happy belly, cut out a large, round shape from the red felt. This will be the belly that hangs over your black pants. Once you've cut out the belly, use the glue gun to attach it to the front of your black pants, positioning it so that it hangs down slightly.
