Flower Garden Costume

Jennifer from PA
"You need an adult-sized green sweatshirt, a pair green leggings, several plastic flowers (from wreaths, garlands, bouquets, etc.), and a yarn needle & yarn... First, I bought everything I needed at the local Goodwill for about $10. Take an adult Green sweatshirt... I used a size M, and trim the sleeves to your childs arm length. Next, Lay out the flowers in the arrangement you want on the sweatshirt. Then simply take about 6" pieces of yarn and stitch the flowers and vines onto the sweatshirt (around the back too!). I stitched the vines about every 3". If you stitch the vines and garlands on first you can "tuck in" some of the vase flowers (bouquets). For the crown of flowers, we simply turned a flower wreath upside down & tied flowers all over the top, and used a small 2 foot garland for a chin strap. This was an adorable and well liked costume!" ~Jennifer
