Cat in the Hat for book week dress up day at school.

Ethan wanted to go as the Cat in the Hat for book week dress up day at school. We found the hat spotlight so that was a great starting point. Not wanting to spend a great amount of money on the costume I decided that he could use a pair of black pants that he already had and his black shoes. the pieces i added-

• A black shirt from kmart for $2 (I went with a short sleeve shirt because it is too hot for long sleeved here and you cant get them anyway lol.)  and painted with white paint on the shirt to look like fur.
• A piece of felt from spontlight and cut it into to the bow shape and used a safety pin to attach it to the shirt
• a pair of small cotton gloves from woolworths in the cleaining aisle.
• I painted his face which finished off his costume.

It didn't cost much and looked great and he won best dressed for his class which was exciting. Two of his mates went as Thing One and thing Two and they looked great as well and also won best dressed for their class.
