All for under $10!
I made this costume for a two year old so everything is to scale for him. You might have to adjust the sizes given on whom the costume is for
I used a dollar store laundry basket for a guide to the circle for Mike's body.
I am not a circle cutting pro, so i had to do a little trimming.
I used a medium sized Pyrex as a guide for the white in his eyes.
Put a good amount of fabric glue on the back of the eye and firmly press to the body.
Used a coaster for the color of Mike's eye.
Mike's eye seemed naked without an eyelid so i used some extra lime green fabric to make an eyelid.
For the pupil i used a glass as a guide for the circle.
Loved how the eye turned out!
The teeth are the fun part. Make them fun!
I used the teeth as a guide for the smile length. You can decide how big you want your Mike to be smiling.
It just didn't seem right with only top teeth so i added some bottom ones.
To finish off Mike's face I added black felt to the mouth.
To make it an easy costume to put on I added lime green straps by using the left over green fabric. I cut out an identical lime green body circle for the back of the costume. I then cut out two straps from the fleece fabric each one about the depth of 3 fingers. To insure the straps would stay in place I sewed them by using some green thread I had leftover from a previous project.
Tada! You have a Mike Wazowski costume for under $10!
