A Christmas Halloween Costume
Colin really wanted to be an elf for Halloween…even though he rid of his elf costume when he moved. So instead of renting one for $20, I made one for him. But helped me sew on the bells.
supplies:
- green t-shirt – $3.99
- sheet of felt – $0.29
- bag of bells – $3.99
total cost: $8.27
I cut the felt into two rows of spikes and sewed it to the t-shirt right below the collar. I cut the sleeves and the bottom of the t-shirt into spikes. And then we sewed bells to the bottom of the spikes. Sewing the bells on was sort of obnoxiously time-consuming, so we didn’t do any bells on the sleeves. He bought Christmas stockings at Goodwill for $1.99 each and wore them over his shoes.
