help me make udders for DS's costume  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
3 yo DS is currently obsessed with cows so I decided to make him a cow costume for Halloween. The other day I bought black sweatpants and long sleeve black t-shirt and a bunch of white felt to make spots out of. I also think I've got the ears figured out. My problem are the udders I picked up some pink felt and am trying to figure out how to make udders. I will attach them to the front of his shirt and I want them to stick out and look like he's ready to be milked

I am not super skilled with sewing and would prefer to be able to do the whole thing without getting out the sewing machine although I can if I need to. I would like to make it all work using scissors and glue.

Any ideas on how to make the udders?

Well, I made a costume for my oldest when she was 2 and all my kids have worn it. What we have always done and everyone loves and comments on is blow up a latex surgical glove and close with a rubber band and put a safety pin through the rubber band and then safety pin the udder to the costume at the appropriate place. We also had a mooing stuffed animal that they carried with them. If you could find a pink rubber dishwashing glove, that would be cute, too. HTH.

what about baby bottle nipples?
if you knit, you could knit some breasts http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/co...ille_boob.html

Thanks for the ideas I ended up making four felt udders and attached them to an ovalish shape of pink felt. It looks cute so I'm happy

I can knit but I'm slow and don't do more than scarves and very simple hats

If you can knit I-cords sewn onto the costume would work




ETA: Oh...nvm you got it.
