Our little Wild Thing<\/p><\/div>\n
I made the costume myself.\u00a0 Well, mostly.\u00a0 I bought white footed pajamas<\/a> from the Gap. I bought them in a 6-12 month so he can wear them all winter (when I remove the tail).<\/p>\n I bought a yard of white felt and had some leftover yellow and white with glitter from other projects. I also use 2 brown pipe cleaners and 2 white ones.<\/p>\n I used a pattern<\/a> I found at Instructables.com to make his hood. I reduced it to 60% before printing, but it was too small.\u00a0 Then I made one at 75% and it was a little too big. Used up my only dark colored pipe cleaners on the first one, so I colored the white ones with a black dry erase marker.<\/p>\n He roared his terrible roar.<\/p><\/div>\n I stayed up 2 nights sewing the hood. Not that I haven’t had all the fabric for weeks. Once I figured out the first one was too small, I knew I had to make another, but the first one came out so perfectly, I couldn’t cannibalize it so I left the whiskers.<\/p>\n I sewed little triangles of felt to the fingers and toes of the sleeper.\u00a0 I also made a little crown out of the yellow and glittery felt\u00a0 to sew onto the chest (over a little bear).<\/p>\n Then I got really crazy and made a larger crown and sewed it to a plain bib.\u00a0 I used a crown clipart <\/a> that I found on Google images.<\/p>\n I told my husband that in the future costumes must be chosen and materials procured by my long weekend in late October.\u00a0 Even though I have had the sleeper since September and the fabric since early October, the procrastinator in me left it to the last minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am going to try again to post for a whole month.
