My DIY costumes inspired by animals

DIY costumes inspired by animals by ana@carpe_diem

Over the years I have created many costumes for my children.

Some of them were inspired by animal kingdom.

I loved making each one of these costumes,

and now, when my kids grew older,

I watch photos with great feeling of nostalgia,

because they don't want to be

sweet bees

or beautiful spotted ladybugs

or little frogs

or fluffy sheeps

or cute ants

or most amazing penguins anymore :)

 

This is a small round-up

with links to costume-making tutorials.

 

 

 

 

LADYBUG

 

 

It was my oldest's first Carnival.

She was the cutest thing!

 

 

 

 

 

PENGUINS

 

Those are the costumes inspired by my little son's first steps.

Also his first appearance in costume.

 

 

 

 

BEES

 





 

That year I have joined my kids in Carnival.

If you would like to see the size of my bee wings ,

Please notice that these photos are taken before digital era, hahaha :)

 

 

 

 

SHEEP

 

 

Mama sheep and two little lambs, I suppose :)

 

 

 

 

ANTS

 

Feet, feet everywhere...

Antennas, too!

 

Ants can come in various colors, did you know that?

Visit the post and see for yourself.

 

 

 

 

FROGS

 



 



Now, we are talking colors!

 

These costume were a huge hit,

because noone knew who is wearing them.

 

Mom frogs even had eyelashes :)
