My little 6 month old daughter, Evelyn Rose, was the coolest Sunflower Baby for Halloween.
This Homemade Sunflower Baby Costume idea originated from a green sleep sack that my baby girl was outgrowing and which I saw as a possible flower stem bearer. I had seen some flower costumes and I didn’t like the commercialized look, so I decided to make my own.
I bought some yellow and green felt, yellow pipe cleaners, yellow ribbon and a hot glue gun. I didn’t really use a pattern; I just drew freehand the flower petals, stem, and leaves, cut them out and pieced them together. The head band wouldn’t stand straight, so I hot-glued it to a plain white cotton beanie hat to keep it on her head. Underneath the sleep sack, she’s wearing green pajamas. Her smile and charisma make the costume!
So AWESOME! Did you glue the pipe cleaners around the outside of the petals? And what did you use for the headband?
