Cutest Abby Cadabby Homemade Costume for a Girl

My name is Asia, the joy of my life is Janice Caye. She is 5. She asked to be Hello kitty for treat day ( that is what she calls Halloween). After looking at the many stores being Hello Kitty was going to be more than .50.$ . so I decided to try and make the costume for cheap. Standing in Hobby Lobby struggling on how to make her, Janice was walking in the fabric section. I was telling a friend that this may not work. 30 min of standing in the store, lost, I hear Janice say, Asia look at this Abby, I wish I could have her. Looking at the fabric it hit me. I asked Janice was it okay to be Abby. Her eyes light up and she was happy again. So we are now on the hunt to make Janice Abby for treat day.

Many people asked why I didn’t just buy the Hello Kitty for her and I said I thought I would try something new! The truth is I could not afford to spend that much money in as a single parent and Janice is type 1 diabetic. I couldn’t buy the costume and pay for insulin but I’ll do what it takes to see Janice Caye smile.

Now we have a new idea so we started the hunt for a life size Abby full out.

The Abby hair: hand made. 5 different stores to find the right pink and purple, wig holder, plastic cap, purple and pink yarn, hot glue gun, wig cap, large daisy, a few burnt fingers but hours of fun! Started with Abby’s bangs, checking every so often to make sure it was correct by sizing it on my baby girls head, after the bangs start on side and start gluing hair to the wig cap creating the center line. Tie knots in the yarn so it does not untwist once you get one ponytail finished. Go to the next side. Every so often place on your child’s head to make sure the center is correct and the sides look good. I made many mistakes and burnt my fingers on glue many times. This was for my baby and I wanted it to look great.

Creating Abby’s pink body: I brought pink pants and shirt from Walmart. I had this outfit since summer. It just happened to be the perfect pink for Abby’s body. I had pink fuzzy gloves, cost 1$.

Abbys dress: blue shirt I found at Childrens Place for 2$ and I hand made a tutu with the elastic band tulle (turquoise aqua purple) 6 in wide and knee length. Cut took me 30 min to make but 5 days and 10 hobby lobbies and 4 coupons to find the right tulle and at a low cost.
