It was the afternoon before Dr. Seuss' birthday and the boys said that they did want to dress up as the Lorax for school the next morning. So I started scrambling driving to stores to find what I could to pull it together. There are no step by step pictures as I did this in a hurry and wasn't planning on blogging about it. But I think it's pretty easy enough. This is what I came up with.
Michael is on the top and Jimmy is on the bottom.
For Michael's costume:
I found this orange zip up jacket at a thrift store.
I glued yellow felt on the hood for the eyebrows.
(Yes, I glued with a hot glue gun. I don't know how to sew)
Then I glued a yellow felt mustache on to a piece of elastic.
I got the template for the mustache and eyebrows from here.
For Jimmy's costume:
I just got a orange t-shirt.
(I couldn't find 2 orange zip up jackets.)
Then I glued a yellow felt mustache on to a piece of elastic.
For his hat:
I got a beanie put it on a ball and glued yellow felt on it.
In the morning, I had him put it on and
I used safety pins in some areas to make it more secure.
(While on his head.)
It sounds crazy and very unprofessional but I had to improvise.
The kids loved it!
Now off to make my little guys costume!
