Coolest Homemade Skunk Halloween Costume

This is a cute and simple Homemade Skunk Halloween Costume to make for your little one. My daughter Madeline, 4, wanted to be a skunk for Halloween. My mother in law is great with costumes and agreed to make the costume for her.
Here is the pattern for the costume.

You will need the following:
Scissors
White and black faux fur
White and black thread
Black hooded sweatshirt
Black sweatpants
Foam packing peanuts
Nylon thread
Black shoes or sneakers
Face paint (black)

Instructions:

For the body: Cut a large oval of white faux fur and sew it on the front of the sweatshirt. Cut a long strip of white faux fur. Starting at the top front of the hood, sew a stripe down the back of the hood to the bottom of the sweatshirt.

For the ears: Cut two ear shapes from the black faux fur and sew them together. That’s one ear. Repeat for the other ear, then sew both ears to the hood on each side of the white stripe. Trim the fur on the ears if it’s too fluffy.

For the tail: Cut a rectangle with a rounded end, from the black faux fur and a matching one from the white. Sew the two together, leaving the flat ends open. Stuff with packing peanuts, then sew the ends shut. Sew the flat end of the tail to the bottom rear of the sweatshirt.

To make the tail stand up: Sew nylon thread through the top of the tail and attach it to the back of the sweatshirt.

Using face paint, color your child’s nose black and draw whiskers, and you’re ready to go!
