Coolest Homemade Cabbage Patch Doll Baby Costume

We did this Homemade Cabbage Patch Doll Baby Costume for our first baby and wanted to make one for our second baby too. Our previous entry is the Coolest Cabbage Patch Kid Costume 2. We built it out of wood and painted it by hand, it is 1.75 scale of an original Cabbage Patch Kid box.

The birth certificate is an official Cabbage Patch birth certificate specially ordered with our baby’s real name and birth date. We dressed her in an outfit that is similar to doll clothes. She is 8 months old. We had a lot of fun creating this fun costume and our baby loved it too.
