Instructions
Boys go to Jupiter to get more... stylish? Help your little one to shed their earthling disguise this Halloween with our Primary DIY Alien costume. This Unusually Fun Outfit (UFO) has landed, using easy step-by-step instructions along with our Primary essentials. This extra-special extra-terrestrial costume is otherworldly. They come in peace, as long as you give them plenty of candy!
For the eyes:
- Cut circles of felt in dark green, light green, and black in descending order. Cut a small circle of white felt. Hot glue on top of one another as seen in the picture. Attach to styrofoam balls with low-heat hot glue.
For the headband:
- Using a low-heat hot glue gun, glue three eyeballs on the center of headband.
- Cut two ears out of green felt. Glue ears next to each outer eyeball. Fold felt inward (so the ends meet) at the bottom of each ear when gluing on headband (this gives more dimension to ears).
- Hot glue pom poms to the pipe cleaner. Any size or color will work!
- Hot glue pipe cleaners to headband in between ears and eyeballs.
Pro-Tips
- If you don't have a green headband on hand, simply paint one of your regular headbands green!
- In a warmer climate this Halloween? Use our baby romper or baby dress in green for a cooler look.
- In a cold climate this Halloween? For a warmer dress version, use our baby cozy dress and baby cozy legging in green!
