This costume cost about $15 and took half a day to make......
All you need:
Old Hoodie
4 Feather Boa's
2 Rubber Gloves
Yellow tights
Chicken Head
Last year I found a dog chicken costume at a thrift store for $1! First I cut the head, wings and tail from the dog costume and
stitched them on the hoodie......
I think the costume would be cute without the chicken head ORyou could use felt to make a head or tail:=)
I suppose you could glue the feathers
but I hand stitched the boa's on the hoodie
You can find feather boa's at dollar stores, Wal-mart toy departmentbut I hand stitched the boa's on the hoodie
or any craft store....
{I bought 4 from Hobby Lobby 1/2 price in their Christmas section }
I purchased yellow rubber cleaning gloves at Wal-mart 2 for $1
Stuff the fingers with some polyfil or cotton.Insert shoe palm side down and pull tight so fingers arch up to provide tripping
Cut a slit from the tongue to heel
Then fold and hot glue the glove closed
I glued some loose feathers around the glove opening.....
Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!!
Check out all the places I party!
