Hay Sharon that sounds neat.  I made a life size person wants in elementry school.  I took a pair of nylons for the legs, atop and another pair of nylons for the arms.  I stuffed them all and put them together.  I used a pillow case for the head and a hat.  I took it to school for the halloween party and after school I spun it around by one arm and one leg let go and it flew up onto the school building.  A teacher watching out the window (I did not know she was watching) thought I threw another student up there.  She came running out of the building screaming who did you throw up there.  I was laughing so hard I could not answer at first.  Than when I told her she said you should not have done that you gave me a heart attack.  She should have known it was not another student because I don't think they would fly that high because of their weight.  The Janitor told me the next day that my partner was in the office.  I never went to retrieve it.
