Lauren K.

ITEMS USED:

Standard umbrella stroller
Foam rubber
Yellow, brown and orange-yellow paint
Coffee can
Gray hooded sweatshirt
Pink felt
Headband ears
Gray bow tie

DESCRIPTION AND HOW COSTUME WAS MADE:

The cheese is made by cutting 3/4 inch foam rubber to fit around a standard umbrella stroller. Sew together the pieces where they join. The entire surface is painted yellow. Shades of brown and orange-yellow spray paint are added to get the "hole" effect by using coffee cans of various sizes, opened at both ends, as templates. The mouse is dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt with pink oval felt attached with Velcro for a "tummy," headband ears, snappy gray bow tie and penciled whiskers.
