Looking for a last minute DIY Halloween costume that's inexpensive, easy to make, and adorable? You've come to the right place. I was inspired to create this costume by this Lisa Frank pink kitten costume. I really loved the idea of the bib, but the ones I saw online weren't cheap, so I decided to make a felt variant for a fraction of the cost. Not feeling the Lisa Frank vibe? Pick out some felt in whatever color you likelike be a cat of your choice.
Materials:
*Purple felt
*Pink felt
*White felt
*Headband
*All purpose adhesive
*Pink lipstick
*Purple clothes
*Safety pins
*White gloves or mittens
*Metallic marker
*Scissors
Directions for the Ears:
*Print out the template below. I used the bigger ear template to make mine, but if you're making a costume for a smaller person, the smaller template might work better.
*Trace two copies of the outer ear shape onto the purple felt.
*Trace two copies of the inner ear shape onto the pink felt.
*Cut out the ear pieces and glue the inner ear pieces to the outer ear pieces.
*Glue the ears to the headband. Let dry.
Bib Directions:
*Print out a copy of the bib template below.
*Trace the bib shape onto the white felt and cut out.
*Tuck the top of the bib into the top of your clothes and secure in place with a couple of safety pins.
Cat Paw Gloves Directions:
*Print out a copy of the template below (or any cat paw print shape of your choice).
*Trace two copies of each piece of the paw print template onto the pink felt and cut out.
*Glue the felt to the gloves.
Finishing Touches:
*Draw on a nose and whiskers with pink lipstick.
