The Grinch was a Santa suit pattern and then we made green fur pants and gloves and a small piece for chest hair. We then painted his face green and added black detail lines.
Cyndi we found a fabric that was so close to her dress in the movie and made it out of a pattern. Then we made a red robe with the pom poms. We found some pink mittens and red tights. I used crayola air clay because it is light and made the donuts and candy and cocoa cup. I glued the food to a plastic plate and attached it to her dress then attached the mug and candy to a hair clip to put on her head.
My daughter’s hair was not long enough so I bought fake hair and braided it and attached it to her own hair with a rubber band. She looked so cute!
