Reindeer Costume

Reindeer Costume

I've been adapting a 'Onies' monkey  into a Reindeer for a friend for when they do a run at Christmas time.

I made a pattern from newspaper and then tacked out it's outline on the back of a  piece of fur. I thought it would be easier to follow than working directly from the paper.

One half of the chest hair sewn in place
The two halves of the chest hair in place and
 I also removed the little monkey head from the hood,
 using extra pieces of fabric taken from the feet! 
Here you can see how amazing the headdress is, all sculpted from cardboard.
As well as the Onies I also made
 some hoof gloves for him to wear.
