I went on a search for a quick and cheap costume to make and I got the idea for a Blue and Steve from Blues Clues Costume when I saw the blue sweatsuit. It was a big hit and everyone loved it!!
Blue’s Supplies:
light blue sweatsuit ($12)
royal blue t-shirt ($4)
1 inch thick headband ($1)
blue foam board ($0.50)
blue glitter ($1)
First I traced and cut 5 inch circles out of the blue t-shirt. Then I used iron on adhesive to attach the blue circles to the sweatpants. **make sure not to go overboard.. blue doesn’t have to many dots**. For the ears I traced and cut them from the foam board, I did my best to match the shape. I used a glue stick to get the glitter to stick to the foam. Finally I hot glued the ears to the headband.
Steve Supplies:
dark green long sleeve t-shirt ($6)
light green t-shirt ($4)
If you are unable to find the perfect shirt for Steve like I was, you will have to resort to making it. I cut 4 inch strips out of the light green shirt and used iron on adhesive to attach them to the green shirt. I had my boyfriend wear a white polo under the shirt so the collar would come out the top. Finish it off with some khaki pants and a brown belt.
What about blue’s tail???
That looks great!! I am going to try it – thanks for the instructions!!
