You too can be a Who or Horton the Elephant for Halloween

It's easy to become a Who or Horton the Elephant for Halloween. All you need is a few pipe cleaners a large pom pom and a little time. With a few twists and turns you'll soon have your own Pink Clover Who Hat or Pink Clover Accessory.

Horton Hears a Who was one of the biggest movie hits of this past spring. You can easily and quickly become a "Who" or "Horton" for Halloween. All it takes is putting on a "Who Hat" and a simple outfit or carrying a Who Clover with what you are wearing.

Put on your Pink Clover hat or carry a Pink Who Clover and you'll have one of the best, easiest and least expensive costumes at the office party.

Make Your Own Who Hat 


This is the version of the Who Hats that I created for my daughters' Horton Hears a Who Party.

They are simple to make from a few pipe cleaners (or chenille stems) and pink Pom Poms.

Even the boys that were invited to the party thought our Who Hats were so cool that they also wore them. Modeled by my birthday girls.

You too can be a Who.
All it takes is a Pink Clover Hat
on your do.

Missouri Ghosts
I have always been able to sense ghosts and spirits. I don't see them with my eyes; it is more like a mental image or picture in my mind. Sometimes the image comes with knowledge of how they might have died.
Pumpkin Carving
I started carving pumpkins by myself when I was in middle school. I remember taking my time to get it just right and being so proud of my work. In 8th grade I entered a Jack-o-lantern contest at school and won!

Steps to Make Your Own Pink Clover Who Hat 

Making your own Pink Clover Who Hat is pretty simple. Just follow the steps below:
  1. Wrap two chenille stems together to create a headband.
  2. If you start with a headband, wrap the chenille stems around the headband.
  3. Twist one Chenille stem around the middle of the pink pom pom.
  4. Use the other end and attach the pink clover stem by wrapping it around the headband or chenille headband.
  5. Reinforce the Pink Clover stem by wrapping around another chenille stem. (We used a contrasting color.)
  6. Adjust the pink clover so it curves slightly backwards and stands up in the head.
  7. Admire your Pink Clover Who Hat.

Create a Chenille Stem Headband 


Creating a Headband is easy.

1. Take two pipe cleaners and twist them together.

2. Fold the sharp end of the pipe cleaner up on the stem to hide the points. See where it says to fold this end under (the other side has been folded.)

3. Shape into a headband.

I think that part of the reason that many of the young boys wore the "Who Hats" was because they were made of pipe cleaners. I am not sure they would have worn them if they were on headbands.

Wrap a Headband 

You can also start with an existing headband and wrap it with Chenille Stems (pipe cleaners).

You may need as many as 12 pipe cleaners to cover the headband depending on the width of the headband and how tightly you wrap the stems.

IF you do this, be sure that the sharp ends are tucked under or hidden, so as not to scratch when the Who hat is placed on the head.

Twist a Chenille Stem around a Pom Pom 


Take one of the ends of the Chenille stem (pipe cleaner) and wrap it around the middle of a Pom Pom.

Twist the pipe cleaner until it is tight against the Pom Pom.

Puff out the Pom Pom until the pipe cleaner is hidden.

Attach the Pink Clover Flower to the Headband 


Attach the Pink Clover by the bottom end to the pipe cleaner headband.

Create a Triangle Base 


Twist it around the base of the pink clover stem to securely attach the flower to the headband and create a triangle at the base of the flower.

The triangle base provides a way to stabilize the flower and help balance it when the headband is worn.

Wrap Your Stem with a Contrasting Pipe Cleaner 

Take the contrasting color and wrap the pink clover stem. We just twisted the pink pipe cleaner as a color contrast.

You could alternate colors the way the official hat is made.

Once the pink pipe cleaner/chenille stem has been wrapped, use the remaining end to anchor the clover to the headband and reinforce the triangle base.

Create a Triangle to Anchor the Clover 


The triangle base 'sits' on top of the head when the headband is worn to help balance the flower.

Admire Your Pink Clover Who Hat 

Try on your Who Hat.

Adjust the headband and the flower stem to get it to balance.


Admire Your Handiwork.
