I love this cow costume! It is so easy to make, and so affordable...prefect for my little girl!
It starts with a sweatshirt twosizes bigger than your child's size -- found at a discount store forabout $5 apiece. You'll also need a hot-glue gun and scissors.
Directions:
1. Cut sleeves off white sweatshirt. Turnin-side out and fold in and glue raw edges. Cut out and glue black felt spotson sweatshirt.
2. Cut a small slit in waistband andneckband and use large safety pin to pull 1-yard piece of 1/4-inch elasticthrough each. Tie ends together (try on child to make sure it's not tight).
3. Hat: Turn one cutoff sleeveinside out; glue one end closed. Turn right side out, place on child's head,and cut to appropriate length, leaving an extra inch. Fold in and glue rawedges.
4. Ears: Cut two large teardropshapes out of other sleeve. Cut two smaller pink felt teardrops and glue tosmooth side of white teardrops.
Pinch round ends and glue to hat, as shownabove. Glue Poly-Fil between ears.
5. Add white long-sleeve tee orturtleneck, black gloves, and black leggings or tights.
