Elmo Lens friend/ camera scrunchie DIY

My very talented cousin sporting his handmade Elmo camera scrunchie :)
I saw this idea of a photographers' accessory on etsy (http://www.etsy.com/listing/54888077/elmo-lens-friend) and thought it would be cool to make as Chistmas gifts for the two avid photographers in my family. The purpose of the "lens friends" is getting kids to smile at the camera.

I used an old fleece sweater, elastic ribbon and some felt for the eyes and nose.

1. I watched a tutorial on making scrunchies  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBVGwiVSwhQ
2. I changed the measurements, so the piece of fleece was about 8cm x 30+ cms
3. I cut out the eyes and nose from felt
3. sewed it all together and voilá...
