If you want to bring your favorite Snapchat filter to life, you'll need:
- Several colors of felt
- Headbands
- Scissors
- Wooden kebab skewers or popsicle sticks
- Wardrobe (or skin-friendly) tape
- Hot glue gun
To achieve the puppy filter, simply create felt cutouts of puppy ears and features using a Snapchat selfie for reference. Attach the ears to your headbands, then attach the puppy nose to your own using wardrobe tape. Hold up a felt puppy tongue using a small wooden stick, and voila! You've brought Snapchat into the real world.
