Baby carrier costume: Pineapple

You’ll need scissors yellow fabric white fabric paint two shades of green felt glue gun infant headband yellow infant clothing adult-sized Hawaiian shirt

For the pineapple Cut a piece of yellow fabric that’s large enough to cover the carrier. Using white fabric paint, draw diagonal lines to create a diamond pattern. Let dry, about four hours. For the pineapple crown, cut a variety of leaf shapes out of two shades of green felt. Glue them onto the front of the headband. Dress your baby all in yellow.

For the tourist Wear the loudest Hawaiian shirt you can find. Attach the fabric pineapple tightly around the carrier before putting it on.

To make for a toddler Fold over top and bottom edges and secure with fabric glue. Make into a tube by applying fabric glue to one unfinished edge and lay opposite edge on top. Add elastic shoulder straps with glue gun.
