Carrot Costume

The Carrot Top:
Now you can finish the top carrot section. Before you can stuff it, you need to make the green carrot top. Take the green material and cut it into 3-inch-wide strips. They shouldn't be all the same length. Then sew them onto the top of the head section.

Time to stuff the head section! Because you don't want stuffing coming out of the top of the costume, you can fill a light pillowcase with the stuffing desired and then place it inside the top segment. Be sure not to stuff the carrot top too tight, or it will be difficult for your child to hold all that weight on his or her head.

Put your child's face through the opening and tie the straps to see if everything fits. You may need to cut a bigger hole in the costume if it sags over your child's eyes.

TIPS
  • This costume can go over any clothing (and a jacket or snowsuit), but looks best over an orange sweat suit.
  • If your child will be walking in snow, you may want to make the costume a bit shorter.
  • An extra flap (made from leftover material) sewn to the bottom of the head piece in the back of the costume could be pinned to the bottom straps for extra support.
