Step 8: Pair up the black 160's. Twist both pairs in half.
Step 9: Pinch off a small bubble on the butt end of the black 5 inch round. Wrap the red, un-inflated portion around the black bubble. Then twist the red bubble in half. Get rid of the rest of the red 260.

| Step 10 | Step 11 | Step 12 |
Step 10: Twist the 2 back legs around the pinch twist on the hat base.
Step 11: For stability twist some of the legs around the hat base. Under-inflate a white 5 inch round about the size of a golf ball. Cut off the nozzle. Pinch in half and twist in at the black pinch twist.
Step 12: Add artwork! I like to use Fabrizio's spiral eye's for a really creepy effect.
