With its simple cutout tunic and fun-to-sculpt teeth and bones, this costume rocks for boys and girls.
| Prep Time: Afternoon or Evening | |
| What you need: | |
| 3 yards of faux-fur fabric (we used 2 contrasting fleece
fabrics: 2 yards for the tunic, 1 yard for the belt and ties)
Scissors Aluminum foil Masking tape 3 yards of leather shoelace Plastic bat Bubble packaging Brown craft tape | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: faux fur | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | 
TUNIC: Fold the 2-yard length of fabric in half, then cut
the neck hole and a jagged hem
(diagram 1). From the contrasting fur, cut the belt,
shoulder ties, and side ties as shown. Have your child try on the
tunic. Knot a tie around each shoulder. Cut small holes for the
side ties, thread them through, and tie them. Tie on the
belt. |

TEETH AND BONE ACCESSORIES: To make teeth and bones,
loosely crumple foil into the desired shapes, then cover the
shapes with masking tape. Tape shoelace loops to the teeth for
hanging them from the belt and from a shoelace necklace
(diagram 2). If desired, use another length of shoelace to
tie a bone to a topknot ponytail.

| 3. | CLUB: Cover the bat with a layer of bubble packaging, and then with a layer of brown craft tape. |
