DIY: Black Cat Costume

To contact us Click HERE
This is a super easy costume to make, even if you only have a day before Halloween to make it.  It can be made for a little person, or even a big person.
Here is my little person.  I can hardly stand how cute she looks.  Such a little sweetie!








Ok here is how I made the tail...
Get a wire hanger. you only need one.  cut off one end and bend it to your liking.


Wrap the tail-shaped wire hanger in fuzzy furry feather stuff.  (I have no clue what you call it, but you can buy it at ANY fabric store by the yard.  I got mine at Walmart)  Hot glue into place as you go.

Keep wrapping and gluing.

Finally, attach it to some elastic the size of your waist or your little person's waist, and there you have it.  A tail that actually stays up and stays put.
  (I attached it with hot glue, and secured it with a little piece of felt.)



And now for the Ears.  These took me a little while to figure out.  The key is to not make them too heavy or too big.  Here is the magic combination for ears that will stay put even for the littlest of kitties.

Cut a piece of felt the shape of a cat ear.  I stitched a little satin piece on the top to make it extra cute and to add a little dimension.

Hot glue the awesome fuzzy stuff on the outer edge of the ear.

Gather the bottom of the ear together and stitch or hot glue into place.  I stitched it for extra durability.

Hot glue some clips on the back.

I put my little girl's hair into pig tails and simply clipped the ears on.
Easy as pie, and cute as can be!
Best Part, because they are not on a headband she won't be tempted to rip them off her head.  Wahoo, 10 points for mom!


Now for the hard part... drawing on some whiskers and a little nose.  Only one day to figure out how in the world I will do that with this little wiggly one year old....
Wish me luck!

EEEEEKKKK!!!  I can't wait for Halloween!!

P.S.  Halloween was AMAZING!  I did it!!!  I drew some whiskers on successfully!! 





 And here is a little secret to remove makeup from your little cutie when trick-or-treating is done...


Just rub a tiny amount of coconut oil to the makeup and wash away with a warm washcloth.  It is like a magic eraser and it won't irritate baby's skin!  AWESOME!
