1. Choose which character you

are going to be and cut out
the face template. Draw over
it with a pencil on to some
white cardboard, which should
indent it with the face (or on to
foamboard as we have used),
or you could just cut out the
face and stick it on to some
white card. Cut it out. Add
black pen detail.
3. Place the neck template on
to a card and cut out as one
piece, then stick to the back
of Tom or Delias head with
double-sided tape.

FOR TOMS OUTFIT

YOU WILL NEED
White t-shirt
T-shirt design template
Black fabric paint
Black trousers
Black shoes
1. Place the t-shirt design
template under a white t-shirt,
and carefully paint the image
straight on to the t-shirt. You
may want to place a plastic
folder under the t-shirt so the
fabric paint does not go through
to the other side. Do the same
for the Dude t-shirt if you
prefer that design instead.
2. Add black trousers and
black shoes.

OUTFIT TIPS

Alternatively, dont use the

template for the t-shirt just
wear a long-sleeved top on
top of a school shirt, with your
shirt collars over the top.
Just add
your favourite
Tom Gates
adventure and
youre good
to go!
