Nathan sits with his baby bottle tanks and pacifier regulator in this homemade fun creation.

Materials

2 baby bottles
1 pacifier
black beanie

grey vest
colored foam for weight belt and fins
black body suit/sleeper
black sprinkler tubing
Construction mask from 99 cent store
2 buttons
thin cord to string through the tubes

Instructions

  • Cut the tubing to your length needed.
    String the tubing so that cord can tie to paci and 2 buttons.
    Put the string through the nipples of the bottles and tie the buttons on tightly so it doesn't come through.
    Tie the Paci onto the strings/tube.

  • Cut the foam into strips to attach the bottles together and attach them to the vest with needle/thread/velcro.
    Cut a "belt" out of the foam and attach 4 squares of different colored foam to make "weights".
    Cut 2 fin shapes out of the foam and sew them to a pair of black socks/footies. Color details onto the foam.

  • Put child/baby into bodysuit/black beanie/socks, put the mask on their heaad, paci in their mouth, and take lots of pictures.

    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!
