![]() ![]() Believe it or not, this is the first of his costumes I’ve made, and I’m really proud of how it turned out! Take a look and tell me what you think…Įver since he saw his first episode of the Nickelodeon show Paw Patrol this past summer, LC has been obsessed with it. The kids are stoked and I couldn’t get my son to take off his hat or vest (even with the insane heat wave last week!).Just to give you fair warning, today’s post contains excessive cuteness, so you might want to prepare yourself! I am so excited to share part 1 of a little mini-series on the costume I made for Little Crafter this year. That was easy and quick to pull together! Whew!Īll in all, everyone’s happy. I cut out the “googles” out of light pink felt as well as little pup ears out of light brown felt, and sew both of them onto the headband. ![]() Luckily, I had a dark pink fabric headband from one of my daugher’s baby headbands (one of many she never really liked wearing □…). I also stapled the elastic bands for extra security. Lastly, I hot glued both the wings to the back of the pup pack as well as two elastic bands to form a backpack. For the wings, I simply cut out cardboard from an Amazon shipping box, wrapped it with silver poster board, and added some pink trim. To make Skye’s pup pack, I wrapped a software box (no joke!) with pink craft felt and hot glued another paper badge on top.I sewed the paper Skye badge over the glitter “one” HTV that was on the front of her dress. Surprisingly it still fit her…a little on the short side but we just add bottoms and it’s all good. I already had a dark pink tutu dress (bought from Old Navy) from my daughter’s 1st birthday party.Update: The DIY Marshall Vehicle Printable Kit is also available so please email me if interested in purchasing the printable kit. Previously sold on my Etsy shop (check out the happy reviews), you can purchase them directly from me. ![]() Want to make this exact same Chase Vehicle for your Paw Patrol fan? The DIY Chase Vehicle Printable Kit is now available. Glued on yellow ribbon, hand-cut felt ears, and paper badge. Sew hand-cut blue craft foam (similar to this one from Amazon) onto existing black baseball cap.Inserted these submersible LED tealights into The Container Store’s Amac colored boxes to create the back “flashers” as well as put two bike flashing lights on the front.Create custom pieces that were cut by my Silhouette machine, such as the head/tail lights, wheels, decals, front “winch” box, and badges.Cut out a hole to fit my son in the middle and stapled elastic straps to make “suspenders” for a wearable costume. Spray painted a UPS shipping box (12in x 12in x 20in) blue with multiple coats.If you ever wondered how much you can create custom work with the Silhouette for your project needs, this is 100% proof right here. With my Silhouette cutting machine, I was able to replicate many of the designs on Chase’s vehicle, Skye’s pup pack, as well as their pup badge designs. I have no time to waste! I kid you not, he seriously checked my progress each day and said “yes, mommy, that is good. ![]() So, knowing that my by-the-book firstborn son would be checking my work, I got started right away. And voila, Halloween costume decision made! My son is obsessed with Chase the police pup while my daughter loves Skye, the Amelia Earhart of the crew. If you know any preschooler these days, it’s all about Paw Patrol. So, of course he asked that this year’s costume be made the same way! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of keeping the costume AND in plain sight (in the garage). Two years ago, I made my son a wearable firetruck costume out of a UPS shipping box. We brainstorm all the possibilities and I let him stew on the options. □Ībout the middle of summer is when I have a very important conversation with my son…Halloween costumes.
