Since Josh is 2 years older than Baby Bunny, it gives us time to either 1) decide to make a new costume or 2) re-use the old one. Of course we are going to re-use the old one!
This year Baby Bunny is going out as Office Bunny! Here he is in the costume.
Here's what you need to make your own:
1. Long sleeve white t-shirt
2. Short sleeve black t shirt
3. Dark pants (preferably with a red stripe since that's what Toronto officers wear)
4. Old belt
5. A police officer badge/gun/baton from the Dollarama ($2 at most)
6. Mailing label to print your officer's name.
This costume was easy because the only thing we had to buy was the badge/gun/baton combo. Everything else was already in the closet.
To make the police vest, just cut off the sleeves of the t-shirt and make sure that you cut so that the serged end remains on the t-shirt. Use the left over sleeves to make the epaulets. If you don't have a plain black shirt, use an old shirt and turn it inside out like we did.
For the police belt, cut it to fit your little one and use velcro strips to make the "belts" to connect the baton and handcuffs
Use duct tape and some recycled cardboard to make the holster for the gun.
Over here, we are getting a ton of rain due to Hurricane Sandy and maybe the possibility of snow! Our DIY Scary Well from the movie "The Ring" is in danger of blowing away. This is what it's looking like outside today.
For those of you on the Eastern part of the US and Canada, stay safe and stay inside.
Omg this is the best idea i have seen yet and think ill use them or at least some of them
ReplyDeletethank u for help! I been scrambling trying figure out how to finish my police officer look!
I have been searching for a diy costume for my granddaughter since her dad is a police officer and this is by far the easiest and cutest one I have found thank you so much it is perfect she is 3 and loves it
ReplyDeleteI used your instructions to make my son's police officer costume for Community Helper Day at his school and found it extremely helpful! What a simple, inexpensive costume! I especially liked the idea of using the velcro strips to hold the flashlight and handcuffs. I would not have thought of that and was thankful when I found these things lying around around our house. Thanks for this!! You've made this busy mom's life a bit less stressful!
ReplyDeleteSuch helpful ideas! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as Ioy desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
