Wherever there are alignment marks or centre lines in the pattern, transfer them onto the foam, and once you lift your paper off the foam, extend that line inward and mark the letter so that it will be included once you have cut out the foam piece. Place the paper helmet pattern piece on the foam mat and carefully trace it using your gel pen. I recommend making the helmet the longest length you can, and then shortening it later if preferred. Sizes XS-M all fit entirely on a standard floor mat with the longest length option, but size L and XL require cutting at one of the shorter lines if you are making it from interlocking floor tiles. These are reference marks if you would like to make your helmet a different length. There are also dotted lines at the bottom of the helmet pattern. Don’t cut on the curved dotted line for the face opening yet. Use scissors to cut out the paper pattern for the helmet, just barely leaving the black line visible. Be sure to use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Sharp knives and hot glue can cause injury.It is open to allow proper airflow for breathing.

Do not block off the face hole with glass or plastic.The helmet is a fairly enclosed environment and you only have one set of lungs. Do not wear your helmet until all fumes from glue, foam, and paint are gone.Or buy foam that is labelled formamide free. At the least, I would say it is a good idea to open your foam mat up and let it sit in the sun for a day or two, as most of the chemical will off-gas from the foam. Do your research and come to your own conclusions. There are some people that say there isn't enough formamide in EVA mats to be harmful, and others that say there is. Some EVA foam contains a chemical called formamide.This helmet is not recommended to be worn by children unless under adult supervision.

Be very aware of the activities you are taking part in so that you do not get into a dangerous situation. This increases the chances of falling injuries or not seeing an approaching obstacle or vehicle.

Size XS: 2 for the helmet and 1 more for the backpack.Size S: 3 for the helmet and 1 more for the backpack.Size M and L: 4 for the helmet and 2 more for the backpack.
