Homemade costume #2

Kaiden asked if I would make him an angry bird costume; so I thought I would give it a try. We recycled some stuff from around the house, starting with an old play tent of Kaiden's. We cut the wire frame out of it to use to from our angry bird.

We found an old red blanket in our basement for the outside of the bird (the shape suits the yellow angry bird a bit better but we didn't have a yellow blanket so it is sort of a combo bird). We used felt for the mouth and foam paper for the eyes, chin and eyebrows.
