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.
