I will tell you upfront that I "borrowed" these from another site. Do I need to say what site? Don't want to get Baby U in trouble!!

Bo Peep and her sheep (no pic)

SHEEP = Cream colored long underwear and glue bunched pillow batting on. Cream colored hat with ear flaps, cutting the flaps off and gluing them on top like ears. Black gloves and shoes for hooves. Blacken the tip of their nose with face paint. Mom could dress as Bo Peep.

Mini Mouse

Gray hooded sweatsuit. Gray and pink felt. For the ears, trace two circles from stiff gray felt, cut them out, then cut the felt from side to center. Overlap the cut end so an ear shape is formed, then hot-glue in place. Repeat for the other ear. Next, cut two smaller circles from pink felt and hot glue them inside the gray felt ears. Use double-sided tape to attach the ears to the hood of the sweatshirt. For the belly, cut out a large oval from pink felt and tape it to the front of the sweatshirt. A long piece of gray cord attached to a belt makes a great tail. Finally draw on a black nose and whiskers with face paint!

Spider

Black sweatsuit and white shoes and white gloves. Fill two pairs of girls' black tights with newspaper or socks and slip a white sock or glove on the foot of each stocking. Tie the two pairs of tights together at the top and safety-pin them to the back of the sweatshirt. Finally use clear fishing line to tie the spider's legs together just above the gloves or socks so all the legs move together.

NO PIC

Just Ducky

Yellow hooded sleeper or sweatsuit. To make the eyes, attach "googly" eyes to two pom-poms with craft glue or hot glue gun. Glue the pom-poms to the top of the hood. To make the duck bill, cut out an orange felt triangle and glue it to the front of the hood. Next, cut out two orance gelt duck's feet and glue them to the top of the PJ feet or bottom of pant legs. Finally cut up a white feather boa and glue lengths of it around the hood, arms, legs and tail.

Pirate's Parrot

Take a black sweatsuit and use craft glue to attach colorful feathers (available at craft stores) all over it. Then glue small feathers and a pair of "googly" eyes to the front of a black baseball cap.

Little Devil

Red turtleneck, red tights or leggings, and shiny black boots. Either purchase the horn headband or make your own with red cardboard horns glued to red headband. Finish the look with red face paint and a cape made out of black trash bag cut into a bell shape and attached to the back of the turtleneck with black electrical tape.

Elmo / Bob the Builder

NO PICS

Elmo - start with red sweatpants, red socks and slippers and red hooded sweatshirt. Using craft glue or glue gun, glue "googly" eyes onto two styrofoam balls and glue the eyes to the top of the sweatshirt hood.

Bob the Builder - Start with denim overalls, sturdy boots, and a long-sleeved red t-shirt. Next, cut a regular kitchen sponge into a square shape, dip into yellow fabric paint, and stamp yellow squares onto the shirt. Finish off the outfit with a party-store construction hat and toy tools tiedonto an old belt.


EUREKA! I think I found my Bob the Builder outfit to make!! I was going to use DS overalls and a blue plaid shirt I had, but DH said it the outfit isn't exact, no one will know that is who he is supposed to be. So I was going to buy the costume, but I think the hard hat does not look like a real hard hat - $19.99. Then I found one on line, the DELUXE model, and that has a real hard hat but it is $40 for the outfit and I AM NOT paying that for a one time wear!!

Young Elvis

This one cracks me up!

White footie pajamas. Cut a piece of white iron-on fabric backing (fabric store) into a trapezoid shape, with one end the length of the pajama neck and the other end an inch or so longer to make collar points. Iron the backing to the PJ's and stand the collar up. Use craft glue to attach sequin trim to the stand-up side of the collar and down the front of the PJ's along the zipper. Slick your child's hair back with gel and use eyebrow pencil to draw sideburns.

Flower Girls

Cut out a dozen petal shapes each from yellow and gold felt, making the gold petals slightly larger. Glue pipe cleaners to the back of the gold petals to keep them from flopping over, then glue the yellow petals to the gold petals. Next, glue each two-part petal onto a wide headband. To make the leaves, cut out a few leaf shapes from green felt, then glue them down the front of a one piece green sleeper.
