This Homemade Cupcake Halloween Costume is my 2 year old daughter with a cherry on top. I used a lampshade for the cup then used construction paper and aluminum foil, folded in zig-zags, to cover the lamp shade.
Then used cream colored fabric to make suspenders on the lamp shade to go over her shoulders. I then sewed buffalo snow cotton onto a piece of fabric and wrapped it about her; cutting out arm holes and sewed the back shut. Then hot glued pom poms and little pieces of brown pipe cleaner on her for sprinkles.
Lastly I put her hair up in a pony tail and painted the actual tail green, and her head red for the cherry on top. For the shoes I hot glued silver fabric to the shoes and hot glued pom-poms together and stuck them on, and voila!
Thanks so much, this is such a great idea!!! I never would have thought to use a lamp shade with aluminum foil for the base!!
