How do people decide before deniting the hood if something is too big?

I tried wadded up newspaper, but it just sprang back to the original
wad size.

Thanks

Cut some foam or something else that won't damage the hood to the same
size as your "accessory".

Sprinkle baby powder on the top of it and close the hood.

I'll let you figure out the rest on your own.
