To make the eyes a white foggy colour, take clear tape, and use watered down white paint, so you are able to see through it, but looks foggy. Cut the eyes out a little bit bigger to make sure you cover the whole eye. Then tape them on the outside of the helmet.

Take a small broom or brush and hot glue the top of it so that all the bristles are glued together. When it dries, glue a small piece of cardboard to the top. Then the bristles from the handling. After that paint the 'hair' gold. When putting on helmet, put though the bottom and tape the bottom to the inside of the helmet.
