I used a foam craft ball in the nose to have something to poke the wire whiskers into. I used puff paint to seal the edges of the eyes and felt to make eyebrows.įor the nose I cut out the shape I wanted and stuffed it with poly-fill again. Originally I left this clear plastic, but as he tried it on it fogged up so I ended up cutting it out entirely so that he could see. I cut out a clear portion of the pupil for my husband to see through. So I used blue and black foam board pieces and made the eyes instead. It was OK, but not exactly the look I was going for. Then I painted the sheets with stained glass paint. The original costume idea had used blue tinted headlight covers the guy had recovered from his shop. I sewed this in the angles of the cheeks to keep it off my husband’s face and shoulders.įor the eyes I purchased clear plastic sheets from the craft store. I did have to use another coat hanger in a “u” type of shape in the cheeks and up into the head to ensure that the cheeks stayed up. I did the same with the cheek pieces, minus the foam. That way the filling stayed up and wasn’t itchy, but there was no seam along the face. I then super glued fleece along the inside where it would be ouching my husband’s head. I stuffed the top with lots of poly fill, including around the foam piece so that the head was soft when people touched it. I poked the hooks through the foam and used lots of super glue to help them stay up. I created the ears out of the fleece and a pink nylon material, using wire coat hanger and a small amount of poly-fil to keep their shape. Then we used a foam half circle to ensure that the top would remain round. I cut out the basic shape of the head and stitched the outside. I made the head and feet out of white fleece, mostly because that was on sale at the fabric shop! I couldn’t find purple so I bought white and dyed them purple.īut now to make a Roger costume for my husband! We found a DIY on that was helpful, but didn’t have all of the measurements and steps, so I had to get creative. Just cut a slit in the dress and hem it, buy a red wig and purple gloves. We spent Tuesday night looking at various ideas for a costume that included a red dress and eventually settled on Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
The tuxes were easy, they just got cancelled from the rental company.
Now we had a dilemma…what to do with the strapless red satin dress I had already purchased and had altered? The wedding was called off on Tuesday prior to the Saturday night Halloween. My husband was to be a groomsman and my son was supposed to be ring bearer. For Halloween 2015 I was supposed to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding.
