Halloween Costumes

       
       Today I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for a Five for Friday linky party!

      All kids, big and little, love dressing up for Halloween.  Parents love to dress their little ones, including dogs and cats for this great event. This year I made three costumes.  Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, and a Baby Bunny.
   

       Oscar the Grouch was made for Barkley, a little Yorkie. As you can see this is not Barkley, but a stuffed dog.  Barkley lives in another state, so I needed a mannequin when working on the Oscar costume.   The Oscar is the size and shape of a hand puppet.   The head, body, and garbage can are stuffed.   The arms and hands were left flat.   This way the arms can flip around when the dog is walking or running. 

     I made a felt dog coat and then attached Oscar so Oscar in his garbage can would be riding on the dog's back.

     

   Elmo was made from a red onesie with a red toule face and shirt. Felt was used for the facial features.
 I hope Elmo and Oscar made a good team Trick or Treating!

      The Baby Bunny was made from a pink long sleeve shirt and a scooter skirt.
I purchased all the clothing from the sale rack. 

     And here is the back with a little puffy tail. 

Happy Halloween to All!
