 HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS:
CARE BEARS COSTUME
Save money!
Make a costume out of footies and you get to use the footies all year long. Do-it-yourself costumes are always better than one from the mall.
How to make a Care Bears Costume out of a pair of adult footies (this one is Cheer Bear):
Start with one pair of Pink Adult Footed Pajamas
Make a
Care Bears Headpiece
from Pink Felt (available 6 foot wide for about $5 a yard from fabric stores)
(see photo below).
The shape on the left and the bottom make the hat.
The long piece is sewn between the two outside pieces.
Then cut the 2 ear pieces (below in the center), fold them in half, then fold the bottom edges in (to make them stand up better) and sew to the hat.
Make a
Care Bears Belly
from Felt
Cut a white circle, Google your favorite bear, cut the motif from felt (or paint it on).
Affix to your footies with safety pins.
The Care Bears Tail (in photo below top, center) can be safety pinned to your rear.
Make a pair of
Care Bears Mittens
from Pink Felt
(see shape on the right side of the photo below).
Cut 2, fold them in half, sew or staple up the edges.
Make a
 Care Bears Complexion
We've been told to use women's eye shadow if you don't want to use face paint.
The photo on the right is a real Care Bear - so he didn't have to use face paint.
