I knew I had to top my daughter’s light up robot costume last year so I searched the web for fun costumes. I saw a hot chocolate costume and knew I could have a lot of fun with it. I decided to make it look like the hot chocolate I used to have when I was growing up, including using the same Corelle dish pattern “Butterfly Gold” we had from the early 1970’s.
I used a laundry basket, foam core, poster board, white and brown felt, stuffing and my computer and printer for the dish pattern. I decided to sew the marshmallows and a whipped cream hat. I sewed the brown “liquid” and attached it to the inside of the basket with a big needle and yarn, attached the marshmallows with a quick stitch. To help hold the costume up (it was kind of heavy), I attached suspenders to the inside of the basket.
She was the hit of the neighborhood.
I love the hot chocolate costume you posted. My daughter is bond determined to be a cup of hot chocolate for Halloween, however, I am not crafty at all and have no idea to even get started. Can you send me more specific direction on how you made your daughter’s costume?
Much appreciated.

How to sew the suspenders and stuffing to the basket when it’s hard plastic? What are you sewing it to?
