Decided to dress Little Bean up as a bee this year. (Big Sis opted for a store-bought lion costume. Not as much fun as making one, but also less work) I ordered a black onesie, bumblebee "Babylegs", and yellow tights (did you know you can get any size, any color tights at welovecolors.com?), and made or "refurbished" the rest. Felt is such a great costume medium for its stiffness. Fleece is great, too, and it's more comfy, warmer, and holds up better than felt. Went with felt this year though. Got butterfly wings at the Dollar Store and reshaped, re-covered (with sparkly silverish fabric), and reinforced (wire from Home Depot) them.
My favorite part of this costume is the little stinger! Hope you had a fun Halloween.
Oh my!!! They are adorable! How are you? Any plans to visit your dad???? Would love to see you again.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Miss you! We would like to come for Christmas but seeing as baby girl #3 is "due" Dec. 7th, and I feel like it will be later than that, might be a little tricky.
