Airplane Pilot

Description

My 3 year old son wished to be a pilot in an airplane this year. I found the pattern for this adorable costume online. With the price of costumes these days being so high for so little, I found a way not to break the bank. Recycling and a little creativity,at only 5 dollars this was the outcome. Ian chose the colors and told me where the stripes should go and he and I are very happy and enjoyed the time spent together.

    Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
    • Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
    • Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
    • Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
    • For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
    • With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
