Making your childs Halloween costume yourself is a great idea, particularly if you are looking to save as much money as possible, especially if it is something as simple as a cat costume because you should not have any difficulties making something like this at all. If you are interested in making a cat costume, then there are a few things you are going to need to gather and a few steps you will have to take.

What you Need for Your Cat Costume

There are only really a few things that you will need to make your cat costume and they are: 1 black sweatshirt, 1 pair of black sweatpants, a black headband, 1 yard of black felt, 1 yard of white felt, 1 yard of fake fur trim, face paints, 1 square of pink felt, pillow stuffing, and fabric glue.

Making Your Cat Costume

Now comes the actual construction process of your costume. First you want to start by cutting out a circle of white felt for the stomach of your cat, and you simply want to measure how big the stomach of your sweatshirt is, and then cut out the white felt circle, and then glue it on with a bit of fabric glue.

Now you need to add a tail to the seat of your black pants, and you can cut it out of a long piece of black felt that is about 6 inches wide and 2 feet long. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, and then use your fabric glue to seal the long edge as well as one of the short ends. Turn the cat tail inside out, and then stuff it with some of the cotton fluff.

Next you want to fold in the open edges and seal them shut with some more glue, then to create ears for the costume, you want to cut out two large triangles from the black felt, and cut out two slightly smaller triangles from the pink felt for the insides of the ears. Glue the pink felt pieces in the middle of the black felt pieces and you are finished the ears.

Now to finish the cat costume all off you need to cut out 5 pieces of fluffy fake fur, and two of these pieces should wrap around the wrists of the sleeves, two should wrap around the ankles of the pants, and the last should stick right out of the costume so that it can be clearly seen. That is all there is to it.
