The "Boo-Who?" Costume

"Boo Who?" costume complete with 
light up Jack-O-Lantern purchased
from a dollar store.

       Can you guess which of our dolls is dressed like a ghost this Halloween? This sheet-like costume is very simple to make. Both the hood type mask and long skirt are made from a stretchy no fray fabric that needs no hemming to prevent it from unravelling and the felt letters are glued directly onto the costume.

Supply List:

• black felt
• fabric glue
• stretchy white fabric
• elastic

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut black letters from felt, "Boo Who?"
2. Search for a white tee and leggings for your doll. Tights and leggings are optional, but the tee shirt will be necessary.
3. Cut the doll's ghost-like mask from the stretchy white fabric. It should have a bow shape. 
4. Sew the bow or arch shut with right sides together, leave the bottom of the mask "hood"open.
5. Turn it right sides out and place it over the doll's head to lightly mark whee to cut the eye, nose and mouth holes.
6. You may like to sew on a few eye lashes to the eye sockets at this point. 
7. Glue on the letters next using a fabric glue or tacky white glue. (see photos)
8. Now sew the gathered skirt. Make it very long to cover the doll's legs entirely.
