She then wore black shoes to finish out the outfit. I had purchased an adjustable black baseball cap at the store and about ear height I cut two small slits in the hat horizontally and slid the ears in, then hot glued them into place. I then pinched the wide end of the ears together and hot glued it so that the ears curved. Then I hot glued the felt onto the center of the foam. I then traced a smaller teardrop on the felt and cut that out. I traced a large tear drop shape on the black foam and cut it out. Then put on the shorts and the top.įor the ears I purchased black felt and black sheets of foam. I wanted her to be a Suffolk sheep which has black legs and a black head so I dressed her in a black turtle neck and black tights. The material becomes heavy and stiff so it can not be put on over the head so I cut the back straight up the center and hot glued WIDE strips of Velcro on it to make it go on like a smock. I wanted the “wool” to have a more nappy appearance so I cut the cotton balls in half width wise, then I hot glued the cotton balls on in a row straight across until the top and pants were covered( I had originally tried regular glue but when it dried the cotton balls fell off). You could use shorts and short sleeve shirt instead but I couldn’t find summer clothes in Oct. I cut off the sleeves above the elbows and the pants above the knees. I bought a pair of gray pants and a gray top, one size too big. First I tilted the visor upwards so that it looked like a bonnet then I took wide blue ribbon and hot glued at the bottom of the visor to tie around her neck. I then added a blue ribbon around the brim to cover up from where I hot glued the white fabric onto the visor. I took a large piece of material and layered it on top of itself and hot glued it to the brim of the visor.(The extra material made the bonnet puffy). I ordered bloomers on e-bay and added blue ribbons to the sides of the legs, now came the real work, making a bonnet and the shepherd hook.įirst, I took an oversized sun visor and some stiff white material. I than added bows under the straps of the dress and on the sides of the arms. So after much discussion we came up with Little Bo Peep and her sheep.įor the dress I took a Raggedy Anne doll costume that my older daughter already had and took off all the red trim and piping that was on it and took off anything that resembled Raggedy Anne, then I took blue ribbon and criss-crossed it over the chest to look like a bodice. This year my six year old daughter wanted something that her and her sister could do together for Halloween.
