do it yourself web diyAnimal costume

My daughter has a theme based "Show and Tell" in school every week .Recently the theme was domestic animals and my kiddo had me totally stressed out by saying they had to take "not store bought" animal costumes.

A home renovation made costume meant stitching...I dont enjoy stitching..... [Those of you who know I am an ENT surgeon will be wondering "Don't surgeons have to stitch people up?" Ha Ha well my specialization within ENT is advanced endoscopic and microscopic "stitch-less" surgery !!]
So even though this is a crazy kinda post I had to share so that other "dont like to stitch" moms may benefit! 
Sharing the Paper-crafters  do it yourself web diy sheep costume tutorial!!

Sheep Costume tutorial

She had to wear the costume herself over her school uniform so recycling her father's old vest  would give us a  nice and loose costume.We made the sheep's fur using tissue paper and double sided adhesive tape [I love this adhesive]

Unfold the tissue paper and roll loosely.

Once you have a fluffy paper cylinder you can either roll completely from one end or roll simultaneously from both ends in opposite directions like I did here...this makes it super fast to make your do it yourself web diycostume !

The scrolls are firmly stuck down to the tissue using double sided tape

My "perfectionist/ demanding" kiddo wanted a face mask for the sheep.Bat man fans do forgive me...I converted an old Batman costume mask [at 2 years my daughter was a superheroes fan] into a sheep by making the "up " pointing ears go down !

Here is my little sheep in her homemade sheep costume!

The funniest part about this is that after her show and tell was over I came to know that the animal costume was just an idea her teacher had given along with ideas of bringing animal pictures or animal toys...trust my kiddo to choose the idea which had most appealed to her [meaning lets give  mom some work]!
