This homemade costume for girls entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Amber, the 'Shopkin Pink Cupcake' costume creator:
My 8 yr old wanted to be a cupcake for Halloween. After doing some research all i could find is adult cupcake costumes that i didn't find fitting to her age. so i decided after a few yrs of making her costumes i would just create a cupcake costume. Created under $20
materials i used: Toy storage tub, white pantyhose, polyester stuffing, Poster Board, 1 1/2 yard of fabric, bubblegum pink fabric spray, pompoms, Gorilla hot glue, suspenders, White sweatshirt, Headband, Styrofoam half, red marker, green pipe cleaner, duct tape, spray on glue
Instructions:
1. I cut out the bottom of the toy tub. i lined the edges from where i cut bottom of with duct tape so when putting it on you wont get cut.
2. I accordion styled the poster board and then used spray on glue for the fabric on the board board following the creases. When finished i hot glued the poster board to the toy tub making it look like a wrapper.
3. I cut off the top part of the pantyhose just keeping the legs. Each leg i stuffed with stuffing but didn't make it stiff so the tube would be bendable. At the end of each leg i tied it shut. once i got through 2 pairs of pantyhose i tied them all together and each end i hot glued the ends together making 1 long snake.
4. I took the snake and hot glued it to the frame of the tub then spiraled it up making it look like frosting.
5. After i got the frosting on i took the bubblegum pink fabric spray and sprayed it looking like it was airbrushed on.
6. I took the white sweatshirt and sprayed that with the bubblegum pink fabric spray to match the frosting.
7. I took pompoms and hot glued them in random spots to look like sprinkles.
8. I colored the Styrofoam red with marker and hot glued it to the pink head band to look like half a cherry on top. I Topped costume off with pink wig and pink see through glasses with eyelashes.
