Owl
materials: felt wool, onesie, feather pin, pilot cap, scissors, velcro, and iron
description: The costume was made from a Martha Stewart pattern, originally featured in Martha's Baby Magazine.
Crayon
description: The "Crayon" sign was an iron-on transfer made in PhotoShop.The "pink/rose" letters came in an iron-on stencil kit, and the rest of the black designs were painted with fabric paint. There was also a pink hat (I covered a cone-shaped party hat with pink fabric, but it didn't last on her head long enough to take the photo. :)
Kitty
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
aka: Minya (2)location: Brooklyn, NYage group: toddlerdifficulty level: semi-easy
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…
