Cut fabric the length of the arm.  Drape it over the foam.  Tape at the shoulder.  Staple the overlapping bits under the arm together.

Cut some foam to fit the chest cavity.  Stuff it in the chest.  Wrap it with some tape to hold it in.  IMG_7867 (Small) IMG_7849 (Small)

Measure the ground to the  top of the head.  Measure out that much fabric and double it.  Cut that much fabric off.  Fold it in half length wise.  Cut a hole for the head.  Drape the fabric over the mannequin.

Take the edges along each side and staple them to the 2×4 that forms the upright leg/torso.

Put a mask on it or add some foam and put some fabric over the foam like a hood.  IMG_7898 (Small)

Done.

I really like this design, it is fast and cheap to make if you use repurposed materials.  I made 10 of these guys in about 2 or 3 hours.
