We purchased material and pattern at a local fabric store to make this organ grinder monkey costume. Fortunately for us, Grandma is a great seamstress!
Add a red vest and red hat (created with cardboard to keep the round shape) out of felt, add a little, unbreakable mug, and you have the cutest organ grinder monkey around!
OMG!! I had the same costume 2 years ago for my little one! He was too little to walk, so I carried him along with a box that I “played” as the grinder!!! He won 1st place in our local Halloween Parade!!!
