Halloween is coming, did you know that?! My youngest is beyond excited! We have been gathering materials for his costume for a month. We finally sat down and put it together this past weekend. The only thing he has left to do it finish his shield. Here he is:
He's Link from Zelda! I have been telling him for a couple of years that he would make a great Link. He took it and ran with it this year. He did some research online on how to make the costume and we pooled together our creativity to come up with this. We purchased a men's V-neck shirt as a pattern for the tunic. We bought some green felt to make the tunic and the hat. The hat is basically shaped like a Santa hat. We bought some brown dress shoes, brown gloves and brown tights at the thrift store. We had the brown felt parts from another costume on his legs to make the shoes look like boots. We bought some girls white tights at Target. He is embarassed about that part but it's for a good cause! We sewed some of the brown tights to the brown gloves and he cut the fingers off of the gloves. Link wears long brown gloves with cut off fingers so that worked. We scrounged up a brown belt and another belt to hold his sword from the dress up box. He bought the sword himself online. He got it for like $20. He is totally thrilled with his costume! He says it's the best costume ever! What more could a mom want to hear?
Next up is a card we made at my last stamp club. It is a spider in jar. I couldn't resist using the jar once again. The middle zigzag piece is from the Tasteful Trim bigshot die.
Thanks for stopping by today!
