Chief Cat Costume

My cat, Leopold, is wearing this adorable costume. As the chief of our household, this handmade costume seemed to be the best fitting for his character this holiday season! To make this costume I used a suede material and elastic to make the basis for the headdress and his leg fringe. I decorated the headdress with feathers, ribbons, leather ropes and beads and highlighted it with a Native American inspired ribbon. His bow was shaped out of plastic and painted to look like wood. His quiver was made of plastic and covered in suede and strapped with the same ribbon from the headdress and highlighted with some arrows made of wood. I hope you have as much fun looking at these photos as Leo and I had taking them!
