It's the Cat in the Hat!
All of our adventures start like that!
Wherever your going, wherever your at
The Cat in the Hat Knows a lot about that!
If you have a child living in your home you've probably heard the theme song to the new Cat in the Hat cartoon on PBS. Well Wyatt loves loves loves it! So this year I decided it would be a perfect costume for the boys and it turned out so cute!
The perfect Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 & Thing 2!
These costumes were not the easiest to make!
- First of all we couldn't find solid red pjs' in stores anywhere! Luckily Wendell found these pink Elmo ones with the zipper on the side which were PERFECT!
Then I designed the logo on the computer. Flipped the image then printed it on transfer paper. I then ironed it onto self adhesive felt and cut it out!
Then I had to dye the pjs with Rit Dye!
Finally once I put the felt on I realized it wasn't durable enough to keep the logo on for an extended period of time so I hand stitched around the edge!
- Now the wigs were just as tricky. They were "Mad Scientist" Wigs from Walmart. I started dying them by using blue Halloween hairspray but I went through like 3 cans and barely even covered half of one! So I did some research online and found a tutorial on mixing rubbing alcohol with acrylic ink! So off to the store I went and it worked perfectly. I had to apply it a few times as they were white wigs originally. I trimmed them a bit and tightened the head band with bobby pins so they would fit their little heads.
And Voila! The final product!
My very cute Thing 1 & Thing 2!
PS I realize it's 7:30pm Halloween night but I've been dying to do this post for over a month!
