DIY ENTRY #26 Owl Costume

They absolutely do not get better than this. Christine over at Pure Joy Events just sent this over. There is so much I love about it. 
But I think I really love that she makes it look SO easy!


Here's "hooo" to turn a simple hoodie into an owl Halloween costume. For this project, you'll need a pink hoodie (purchased at H&M), pink and cream fleece (felt will work too), white glue, package of black and orange foam masks (purchased at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts), one sheet of white cardstock, and a rosette.

1. Using Owl Template 1, cut a set of wings, approximately sixty individual feathers, and the mask out of the pink fleece. Then cut about twenty individual feathers out of the cream fleece.
   
2. Starting at the bottom of the hoodie, sew (or glue if the hoodie won't be worn after Halloween) a row of pink feathers. Create overlapping layers of feathers as you work your way up the hoodie.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Flip the hoodie to the back and sew the wings along the seam of the arms.
   
   
   
   
4. Print Owl Template 2 on white cardstock and cut out the pieces. Cut the beak out of the orange foam mask.
   
5. Line the black foam mask along the bottom of the white mask and cut out the eye holes.
   
   
   
   
6. Glue the pink mask on top of white mask, the black circles over the eye cut outs, and then the lashes.
   
   
   
   
7. Turn over the mask and cut out the eye holes. Then glue on the black foam mask and orange beak.
   
   
   
   
8. Add a rosette a you're "owl" done.
