![]() We decided to attach the bow tie to the bottom of the mouth so it stayed in place easier. I cut out yellow circles from felt and glued them on. The bow tie I cut out two large bow shapes from felt, and sewed them together, leaving a hole to stuff it with stuffing for some dimension. ![]() An elastic piece on the bottom fit snug over the shoes so it made it easy to walk, and they didn’t end up getting too dirty. I then put small black felt strips to accent the toes. These were made out of pieces of foam with the fur fabric glued over it. I then put small black felt cartoon accents on the tops of the hands. The gloves I just drew out an oversize glove pattern, cut two pieces of yellow felt out in the same shape, and sewed them up together to create a glove. I put large yellow buttons on the front, and a blue patch with a ball of the fur fabric on for the tail. I cut the felt into an overall shape, and had my husband try them on, take them off, try them on, take them off, until I got the shape down and the fit right. I started with the overalls, which were made out of a large piece of red felt. There is a hole cut in the mouth part so he can easily breathe and drink – but he had to drink beer from a straw and basically put the entire beer up the mouth so he could get the straw to his lips, it looked like he was just eating the beer every time he took a drink, ha ha!

We had a blast in these costumes, and were being stopped all night to take pictures. But finding the right materials, and my favorite costume making tool – a hot glue gun, I was on a roll! This was my first attempt at making a large 3-dimensional cartoon head. There were several moments of “I don’t know how I’m going to make this work” but with enough time and trial and error it started coming together better than I could have imagined.
