 How to Make an Adult Carrot 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.
A group of fruits (like our blue grapes costume idea) or vegetables is a great group costume.
How to make an Adult Carrot Costume from an orange pair of footie pjs:
Start with one pair of Orange Footed Pajamas
Make a Leaf Hat
from Green Felt - or Green Posterboard or Gift Wrap
(Felt is available in a 6 foot wide version for about $5 a yard from fabric stores)
The hat in the photo was made by just taking a large piece of felt, folding it in a cone shape around the victim's head, and stapling it at the back. Then we cut the leaves and stapled them to the top of the hat.
Make some
Appropriate Accoutrements
from Felt (for aphids) or Twine (for roots) or Posterboard (for seeds), etc.
Then pin them to your footies.
