Jennifer Perkins: This year are you stamping on a really cute and a really creative costume
to make for you kids? I’m going to show you how to make a turtle and the
lady bug. First step let’s get started on our turtle. I have two circles of
green felt, now the way I decided on a size for this is you get the howdy
according to your kiddo style. Our smaller felt circle needs to be about the
size of the back of the howdy, you want your larger circle to have about a
three inch border out and that’s because you are going to glue big circle to
little circle and it’s going to make your turtle show back. We are going to
start by hot glue gunning at four points here, here, here and here.
And set it down and I’m going to do the same thing here. Just get those
four points end and now you have your four points going. And so from
here it’s going to be make it easier for you to go along the edge and kind
of gather it and glue it down. Except for one, you leave one little hole
open and while that’s open then you will come in and you will going to
start put an octagon on our show. We made a larger octagon out of a line
green color and they will need a smaller octagon out of the darker green
color so that when you stock among top of each other it looks like a little
turtle show part.
So once you have that base layer of your little turtle shows on then you
will bring in the pillow stuffing and you would stuff the show. Finish
gluing up your little edge, you would finish going all the way around, all
the away at the top to get your turtle show. This going to pin in on, the big
jumbo stuff safety pins, stick it on the edge and put it on your turtle back
and pin it right on. So, it’s already looking cute, we’ve got a couple of
other little finishing touches we are going to do. You want to your little
turtle a belly so we just use a piece of thin felt, another little touch that I
love is to give your turtle some eyes. Cuts some pieces of line green felt
about this big you want to kind of put in there in the green of the howdy
and add some giggly outs away. Puts on this little howdy, it’s got a little
eye has little poppy show on the back. They’re really cute, really easy
costume. You could wick the color in the shape of your puff to make some
other fun costumes like a little bug.
