I cut out two pieces of fleece for each wing and sewed them together with the cardboard inside. To make the wings I cut out two pieces of cardboard and traced them onto the fleece. I made the beak out of cardboard and wrapped pink and black fabric around it. I found the mask at Goodwill for $5 and cut the nose off so I could put a beak in its place. Last I put pillow stuffing in the back of the skirt and the elastic held it in. I sewed on some ribbon in order to tie it around my neck. I cut out a piece of fleece for the neck as shown in the neck pattern and sewed it together to form a tube. I put elastic in the top and bottom of the skirt to make a bubble skirt.

I found some pink fleece fabric and cut it into three pieces as shown in the body pattern. The problem now was what was I going to be? We figured a pink lawn flamingo would be the perfect complement to a garden gnome and our animal Halloween costumes. We found some suspenders at his grandpa’s house that put the finishing touch on his costume. All he would need is a beard and hat and he could just wear his typical shorts shirt and hiking boots. My boyfriend doesn’t like to dress up a lot for Halloween so I figured a garden gnome would be the perfect costume for him. Then I got this idea for animal Halloween costumes for the two of us. My boyfriend and I were cleaning up the property around his grandpa’s house when we found a couple of garden gnomes. If you ever want to make animal Halloween costumes, this is very easy to make! I didn’t want the ends to poke my feet so I edged the whole shoe with ribbon and added a little bow. I bought a pair of heels from a thrift store and hot glued the feathers on. To get the shape on the beak you need three different pieces: Two sides and middle, this will ensure a more curved shape. Again everything was hot glued into place. For the headpiece I used a plain headband, more feathers and cardboard. I wanted the dress to be short but to make sure it wasn’t inappropriate.
