Kitty
aka: Matilda (17 months)location: Brooklyn, NY
materials: A hand-me-down fake fur vest was the inspiration. Then added white onesie, one tights, a cream g-diaper and an extra foot of fake fur fabric. Some velcro and rubber bands. Scissors, needle, thread.

description: I cut a long piece for the tail and sewed it (right side in) and turned it inside out. Attached it to the G-diaper with a safety pin. then I cut small cuffs out of the fabric for both the wrists and ankles and sewed velcro closures (although, you could just safety pin or use the sticky-back velcro. Then I cut small loops of fake fur and sewed them around rubber bands for her hair.

Ducky/Big Bird

materials: lots of feather boas, orange masking tape, cardboard, old baseball hat, foam balls

description: I wrapped lots of feather boas around a big sweatshirt and anchored them with a hot glue gun. Orange masking tape over cardboard made the feet. An old baseball hat with eyes made her look more Big Bird than a duckling but i was too feathered-out to care…
