Little Hershey's Kiss Baby Costume

by Heather
(Glenwood Springs, CO)

I bought lots of the silver fabric. I wanted something more shiny and "foil" like but this was all they had. So I sprayed it with silver glitter to give it more sheen.

The hat is a simple birthday party hat I covered with the fabric.

The body is actually a lamp shade. I cut and removed the metal parts so I just had the shade. Then I cut it all the way down and attached a zipper. I had to measure and cut arm holes also. Then it of course was covered in the silver fabric.

The tag is just hemmed white fabric. The letters I found in the Hardware section. They were adhesive. I eventually hot glued the tag to the top of the hat. I hadn't done that yet in the picture, so it's just tucked underneath the hat.

Pair it with a white turtleneck and tights and voila! You've got a Kiss!

We got lots of compliments on our little kiss. It was a little challenging, but not that bad once I got the hang of it!

That's so great. I've seen Kiss costumes online and they are so expensive. I've wanted to make one but didn't even know where to start! I will give this a try!

I love this idea! Now that's getting creative with your handmade costume ideas! I would have never thought to use a lamp shade to make the body of the costume. Good thinkin' Momma!
