Easy Chicken Costume that Everyone Loves

After thinking long and hard about a Halloween costume for my almost two year old baby, my stepdaughter sent me a picture of a baby dressed as a chicken. I immediately fell in love with it and said “that is what I want”. I said “where can I buy this outfit?” My stepdaughter said “I can make it!” I was thrilled. So now, it was the day before Halloween and I had no costume. I started to get nervous. But she was not worried. She had a plan and a vision. She made this costume and she whipped it together in minutes, minutes! She is very crafty and with her plan and vision, it came together quickly.

Things needed:

Long sleeve white onesie
White boa with lots of feathers
Red tights
Beanie (white) but we chose yellow striped (last minute all we could find) at the Thrift store
Small piece of red material for comb
8×12 felt piece with sticky side

So, seriously in less than an hour she made this outfit.

Steps:

Glued white boa onto white long-sleeve onesie.
She glued some of the feathers that fell out onto a beanie.
Cut an old red tank top for the comb.
Hot glued that on. Added red tights.
Cut chicken feet out of sticky felt. BAM. Ready in minutes.

And, the whole outfit cost about $11. What a deal! Last years Party City costume was at least $25.

Everyone commented on his outfit.

“What a great costume!”, “My favorite Halloween costume this year.” Even got a picture with my little chicken and another kid dressed as a carton of eggs. Ha Ha, too funny.

Of course, everyone thought he was a girl, but that’s ok. I won’t get to dress him the way I want to soon. He will be into ninjas and boy stuff.
