Making animal costumes is fun, but adding a silly or punny twist makes the whole thing that much better! So what’s better than a DIY pig costume? A DIY pig-in-a-blanket costume! Wrap your little piglet in a blanket that does double duty…it keeps your trick-or-treater warm on Halloween night and it provides great comic relief.
So instead of of just dressing up like a pig for this Halloween, take it one step further (just hold the mustard)!
What you’ll need:
- Primary Cozy Zip hoodie, in raspberry
- Primary yoga pant, in raspberry
- Primary Mittens, in raspberry
- Blanket
- Pink felt
- Pipe cleaner
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Egg carton
- Pink paint
- Elastic
- Pink marker
- Template
- To make the snout, cut a segment from the egg carton and paint it light pink. Let dry.
- Draw two darker pink ovals on the front of the snout.
- Hot glue a thin elastic cord on either side of the snout.
- To make the ears, download and print the template. Cut it out, trace it onto felt twice, and cut.
- Fold the bottom corners to the center and hot glue. Flip it over, apply a line of hot glue along the bottom, and fold to secure.
- Cut a piece of felt the length of a pipe cleaner, about 1” wide. Glue the pipe cleaner just off center.
- Fold the strip in half and hot glue closed. Cut the end to a point.
- Twirl into a spiral and use a safety pin or hem tape to attach to the back of hoodie.
