Brutus the Buckeye Costume

My daughter Abigail who is 12 years old is wearing the costume. It is Brutus the Buckeye which she had asked me to be last year at the last minute, I told her we didn't have time to get it together but would do it next year, and she held me to it! The cost was around $100-$115 between materials and outfit. I useded a helmet for the base and then I pieced soft foam around it side to side in smaller to larger circles then back to smaller like a loaf of bread to make the oval shape. Then I draped the brown fabric but left the from center out for the mouth so that I could use that as an opening to see through. Then I made two layers for the face, one with the eyes and styrofoam for the mouth and then a tan layer over top of that to make the eyes looks set back and cover the mouth. I sewed on the material for the brown part and used a glue gun for the face. I used card board for the nose and cover it in tan material as well and glued it on the front so it would protrude. We used a towel with pink ribbons instead of Brutus's white one in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
