Ladybird costume

What you need
  • Red trousers
  • Red sweatshirt
  • Red socks
  • Black patent/shiny shoes
  • Red headband
  • Black pipe cleaner
  • 2 black pompoms
  • Glue
  • Red cotton fabric
  • Thin quilting
  • Black felt
  • Velcro

What to do

  1. Use the red clothes and black patent shoes as the basis of the costume.
  2. Hand-sew and/or glue the black pompoms to each end of a black pipe cleaner. Twist the pipe cleaner to look like silly antenna.
  3. For the wings, measure the size of the child's back, then make them a little bigger. Glue or sew two pieces of red cotton fabric together with a thin layer of quilting so it is stiff. Glue some large black felt dots on it and Velcro to the back of the red sweatshirt.
