Avocado

Holy guacamole, look at that tummy! What you need: Green onesie + 2 shades of green craft felt. How-to: Draw an avocado shape on both pieces of felt and trace a circle where the tummy will be. Cut felt but trim the lighter colour a little smaller, glue together with darker green felt on bottom. Using a hot glue gun, attach to the front of the onesie, then cut out the tummy section from the onesie.

Safety first: Never leave a baby unattended in a costume, DIY or otherwise, and be mindful of overheating, choking or suffocation hazards.

We found all the felt and stuffing for our DIY costumes from The Felt Store.
