Low-Sew No-Sew Costumes

What you’ll need
1 white hooded sweatshirt
1 pair white sweatpants
2 pieces (23 x 30 cm each) black stick-on felt
1 black pipe cleaner
1 square (30 cm) black felt
1 square (30 cm) pink felt
1 red dog collar or red ribbon to fit youngster’s neck

How to make low-sew no-sew costumes

1. Make spots out of stick-on black felt. Keep the circles fairly small (you don’t want the youngster to be mistaken for a cow). Trace coins of different denominations, for example. Peel off the backing and stick spots randomly on shirt and pants.

2. To make the tail, cut a 6 x 30 cm piece of stick-on felt. Cut off the corners at one end, so the tail will end in a point. Roll the pipe cleaner in the felt and curve the tail slightly. Sew or staple tail to back of pants.

3. Cut out two inner ears from pink felt and two outer ears from black felt. Glue inner ear to outer and attach ears 3 cm up from edge of hood and several centimetres from centre of hood.

4. Put on red collar (or red ribbon) and paint youngster’s nose black with nontoxic face paint, if desired.
