Remember, there's always money in the DIY Arrested Development Banana Stand squad costume! Those bananas might be frozen, but your little one will be comfy and warm all night in our Long Sleeve Babysuit, Baby Jeans, Baby Long Sleeve Tee, and Zip Romper, and you get great Primary basics that can be reused all year. Everyone will keep their eyes peeled on this delightful banana stand– George-Michael's got some competition this Halloween!
George Michael
For the apron:
- Cut a rectangle from blue felt from the chest to the knees of your child.
- Cut two half “U” shapes on the sides of the top half of the rectangle.
- Glue a loop of blue ribbon to the top outer edges of the apron so it fits around the collar. Glue two lengths of ribbon to the sides of the apron at the waist and tie around the waist.
- Print the banana logo from the internet onto a sticker label. Cut out and stick to to the chest of the apron.
The Banana
For the head:
- Cut four rectangles of white felt that are the length of the distance from the top of the child’s head to their belly, and the width of the distance a little shorter than the width of the belly.
- Cut the top ¼ of the rectangle to a point and hot glue the edges together, leaving the bottom short edge open.
- Cut an oval for the face to fit through.
For the peel:
- Cut four “banana peels” from white and yellow felt and hot glue one white and one yellow piece together. Hot glue the peels to the front, sides, and back of the base of the banana with the white side up.
For the assembly:
- Layer our Baby Long Sleeve Tee over our Zip Romper, and slip on your DIY Banana hat!
Pro-Tips
- Get our Baby Long Sleeve Tee in a size up to allow room to comfortably layer it over the Zip Romper (and for room to grow for after Halloween)!
