Use duct tape to stick the two boxes together. If you want you can make designs on your helmet like I did.

Head Slot

Make a hole just big enough for your head to fit inside. Mine had a diameter of 7 inches. Put this on the bottom of the helmet.

Duct Tape Pt. 2

Cover the edges of the hole with duct tape so it will not cut into your neck. To blend it in cover the surounding area in duct tape.

Wear It!!!!!
