Costume Instructions
This turned out so cute and was so simple...

1) We cut down a laundry basket. Made it small enough to fit between my 3 year old's belly and legs. We then hot glued it down to look like a cup.
2) With paper mache, I covered the outside of the laundry basket to cover the holes.
3)I took brown material and cut it in a circle. I cut down the back and added a neck hole. I then used velcro pads to close the back.
4) Next, I painted the cup blue. I cut out a cardboard handle and hot glued the handle. I then painted this to match the cup.
5) I added velcro pads to the top of the cup and the bottom of the material to connect them.
6) I hot glued the cotton balls to the outside of the brown material and to stiched the cottonballs to the the headband.
7) I added a plastic spoon to the material for stirring.
8) Finally I attached the suspenders to the inside of the cup to hold it steady and take the weight off my baby.
9) I cut the bandana in half and sewed in a piece of elastic around the top for a tablecloth look. I hot glued it down the sides to fit as a skirt.
9) I dressed her up in brown and she was on her way.
