Good evening friends.
Although we are still in February, it is not long before the celebration of carnival in my country, since this week the school has already sent the things to have ready for the children's carnival party, one of them is the “costume” that this time the theme will be animals, The teacher said that each child should choose which animal he wanted to represent in his costume, I asked my son and as he is a cat lover, he obviously wanted to dress up as a cat, I thought it was very cute but at the same time I felt very worried because this costume must be made by ourselves and I feel that representing a cat is not so easy, but in the end I didn't want to be too bitter and I thought of making him a mask and some black cat gloves, I thought it was a good idea and also quite simple to do, my son loved it and is very happy with the result, that's the most important thing, I wanted to do it from today to have free time to take care of the other activities that are pending at school, these last days have been really stressful and advance work is always good, anyway, I hope you like it.

I started with the mask for which I used a white sheet to make the sketch, I measured the sheet on my son's face and marked the width measurement I needed, I made a freehand sketch of a cat's face, then I folded the sheet right in the middle of the cat's face and started to cut it so it would be quite symmetrical since the sketch was not 100% perfect, when I checked what I had cut out it looked pretty much the same on both sides, I measured it again to my son to make sure it was right and then I glued the white sheet mold on black foami with adhesive tape to cut it exactly the same and prevent the silhouette from moving.
Once I had the face ready I started to cut in white foami the part of the mouth in the shape of an inverted heart, I measured it using the sketch, for the nose I didn't measure, I just calculated the size I needed and cut it in light pink foami, with silicone stick I glued all the pieces and I remembered that I also had to use pink foami for the ears, I cut the figure several times until it fit perfectly in each ear, I wanted to add some very subtle details of shadows and lights, for this I used acrylic markers, I cut very thin strips of white foami to simulate the whiskers and glued them.
I made some small holes in the mask where I put thick thread, I tied it and left strips on both sides, then I took care of the gloves, I spent days thinking about how to make gloves because I felt that the costume would be incomplete without something so characteristic of cats as are those beautiful soft paws that look like little pillows, so I started to look through my clothes to see what I could use and I got some black pantyhose that I have never used, I thought of making some gloves with it, when I measured them to my son they were too big but I decided to go ahead and improvise, I cut the stocking on both sides leaving it in the shape of a sleeve.
To this stocking I cut it by a corner making a straight and short cut where I would pass his thumb, with a white marker I marked the part where I would paste the kitty paw, then I had to turn the stocking and sew a little to make it narrower, since, as I told y son outgrew his gloves, after sewing it I measured it and now it was perfect, it was time to cut out the paw prints, for them I made the figures in the pink foami, cut them out and glued them with silicone stick and that's how I finished this cute kitty costume.
It is simple but very cute and as I mentioned before the most important thing is that he is very happy with his costume, he really could have chosen any animal and he came up with a kitten hahaha.
That such a cutie creative and adorable DIY costume. I remember when I had to make a last-minute costume for school, and it was so stressful, but seeing the final result made it all worth it.
Haha That's great! Thank you so much!
