Fluffy Chicken
Chicken costume by Marie A., Ontario, Canada
From all the chicken costumes that I saw, this is the one that I made for my daughter, Avery. however she would not wear it thus her younger baby actually took it over. I used 2 sweatshirts from Wal-Mart and stuffed them. I used 2 feather boa and sewed them on. To make the pants, I used bright jaundiced sheepskin. In order to make the head, I bought a used hat at a rummage storehouse and sewed bolshevik feel to the top. Everyone loved the costume but largely Darienne ! !

Chicken Little
Chicken costume by Melissa K., Sherwood, OH
I received this theme from a Martha Stewart cartridge holder a few years ago. Chicken costumes are adorable and very easy to make. beginning you need to find a white onesie in your child ’ second size. following purchase two white feather feather boa from a craft store. The directions said to hot glue the feathers on to the onesie, however I found it to hold better by stitching it on. You can besides stitch two onsies together and add padding to the belly area. My daughter was already filled out in the pot area, so we skipped this separate. It depends how full you want it. For the hat find a blank pilots crown. Cut out a pattern to make a comb. Cut out two sides on crimson framework. Stitch the top together and stuff it before stitching it onto the hat. You can besides add yellow tights and make chicken feet out of yellow rubber gloves. My daughter didn ’ thymine like tights at this clock time, but it would have been therefore cunning. good luck with your chicken costume ! !

I made a harness so that it would rest on my shoulders and the hat was attached to a patch of foam that fit around my mind. The crack was added to make it look real. We split the egg with a huge fracture and made the acme and bottom so that I could see and it looked as though I was a dame hatch. I covered the sides of the costume with bum egg white framework so that you couldn ’ thyroxine see in the sides since the two pieces, front and back, were just flat. My roommate took a simple white effort suit, cut it off at the knees and glued “ natural ” colored feathers to it using spray adhesive material. then she made the comb for her white hat out of fun foam. Her hat and gloves were besides covered in feathers. The chicken costumes feet, and the egg feet for that matter, rested on top of our regular shoes and were made out of a piece of foam, lapp with the beaks. Our socks were soccer socks found at any sporting good store.
