There are occasions in life when we must dress up in costumes and have fun. One possible costume is that of a sheep. Sheep are cute and fluffy, and perfect costumes for children. This can be a relatively easy process, once you have all of your materials.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • What you need:
  • A white, hooded outfit (like a sweat suit)
  • 2-3 bags of cotton batting or pillow stuffing (you may need more)
  • 2 pieces of white felt
  • Double-sided tape
  • 2 safety pins
  • 1 pair of black socks
  • 1 pair of black gloves
  • Black shoes
  1. Step 1

    Set the hooded shirt out on a flat area, like a table, first. Starting on the front of the shirt, at the bottom of the shirt, start to apply your double sided tape, left to right on the front of the shirt. Keep doing this until you get to the collar, then apply the tape to the collar. Only do the front at this time.

  2. Step 2

    Pick up your cotton or stuffing and place it on the tape to make the wool. Keep doing this until all of the tape spots on the shirt are covered.

  3. Step 3

    Wrap double-sided tape all around the sleeves of the shirt. Only do one at a time.

  4. Step 4

    Apply cotton or stuffing to the sleeve that you wrapped in tape. Make sure to cover all the tape spots.

  5. Step 5

    As in the previous steps, wrap the other sleeve in tape completely and then cover it in cotton or stuffing.

  6. Step 6

    Turn the sweatshirt over so that the back of the shirt is facing up. Beginning on the bottom cuff, apply the tape to the shirt in the same manner as you did with the front. After the back of the sweatshirt is done, apply the tape to the hood. Now put on the cotton or stuffing. When that is done, set the shirt aside.

  7. Step 7

    Pick up the sweat pants. Beginning on the bottom cuff of one pant leg, wrap the tape around the pant leg from bottom to top, in a circular motion.

  8. Step 8

    Assemble the cotton or stuffing so that no tape shows on the pant leg.

  9. Step 9

    Repeat the process on the other pant leg.

  10. Step 10

    Cover the front and seat of the pants with the tape, then affix the cotton or stuffing over the tape.

  11. Step 11

    Cut out peanut shapes from the felt for ears. Then cover them in double sided tape and cotton or stuffing.

  12. Step 12

    Attach the ears to the hood of the sweatshirt with safety pins.
