It's that time of year (my favorite crafting time, I think!) and Halloween costumes are well under way. The girl's is done, and the boys' are close. Here's an accessory for Monkey's costume. I'm not going to tell you who he chose to be yet - but see if you can guess!
The backpack didn't HAVE to happen, but this kid loves his bags anyway.
It's 'our interpretation' of this character's backpack, but I think it's way fun. I started out using a tutorial online to find out how much fabric to buy/cutting measurements, but after I cut the fabric wrong (seriously, Kirsten?!) I pretty much winged it. Which is what Halloween is all about, Charlie Brown.
Anyway, he loves this backpack and has been carrying it around a lot.
But I know that wasn't enough to guess on (if you did, 75 points and a gold star for you!) so here's another hint. Which is also a totally unnecessary accessory but really fun and we already had the shrinky dink film.
I traced, he colored.
I forget how TINY they shrink up!
This made his day, let me tell you. And we're well on our way to beating the costume accessory record we set last year (Man, I loved those costumes!).
Any guesses? And if you follow my pinterest costume board, you probably already know.
