THE CUTEST COSTUMES!
Up for auction today is a Grace
Publications craft book entitled “Let’s Pretend” by Terri Bose. It’s soft-cover
and copyrighted 1999. The book features 11 kid’s costume ideas for dress-up and
special occasions.
Here’s the introduction found inside the
book:
For
Halloween, school plays, parties or play time, kids love to dress up! The
costumes in this book were chosen for their special appeal to the children who
will wear them. All have been designed for comfort, durability and safety. I
hope you’ll have as much fun making them as the kids will have wearing them!
Here’s a list of the contents found
inside the book:
General Instructions
Fairy Costume (Crown & Wand)
Indian Costume (Loin Cloth, Headpiece
& Peace Pipe)
Frog Costume (Headpiece, Hands &
Feet)
Sun Visors
Pirate Costume (Hat & Parrot)
60’s Chick (Peace Sign Necklace &
Headband)
Princess Costume (Tiara, Bracelet
& Ring)
Fun Flowers
King’s Costume (Crown, Scepter &
Cape)
Elegant Lady Costume (Fan &
Sunglasses)
As you can see from the pictures &
description I have written above, most of what the book teaches you how to
create are accessories for your child’s costumes. The book has easy to follow
instructions for making the pieces listed. You will be using items like glue,
pony beads, feathers, craft foam, felt, etc. These items are easily acquired at
your local craft store. I would recommend this cute book if you are looking to
add that extra pizzazz to your child’s basic costume. It will make their
costume even more special because they will have something unique that not
everyone else has. Also, accessories for costumes are so expensive in the
store. These are way more economical, plus they are fun to make! J
Remember, this auction is for the
craft pattern book only and NOT any finished designs or supplies.
