Mustache Costume!

[feltfriends]

A few months ago our daughter (almost 6 now) said to us out of the blue, "I Know what I want to be for Halloween! A mustache!!"  and we laughed our heads off.
 Halloween got closer and her mind did not change, so we brainstormed how she wanted it to work out. In the end we found that she wanted to be a giant brown handlebar mustache. And she wanted to be able to hang her trick-or-treat bag from one of the curls. AND SO IT WAS. 

Stuffing didn't hold the shape well enough, the curls flopped over. But at my husband's suggestion i hacked out thick pieces of foam for the curls and stuffed them with those. much better!

Gah! Awesome! I <3 mustaches... I totally wish I could grow a gnarly handle-bar.



Hehehe... I'm on the left:






I carry seven mustaches around in my glove compartment... just in case.


Wheeee!

you do indeed, have the coolest child ever.

and it should also be noted that I am going to go to the party store very soon to pick up some adhesive mustaches, for the sole purpose of someday using this quote from rockfullofawesome: "I carry seven mustaches around in my glove compartment... just in case."
