This isn't a crafty blog, but I came up with this quick way to make cat ears for my four month old baby's kitty costume and I figured it should be shared. The Eat Make Grow Blog Hop is bringing out my crafty side. I'm pretty thrilled with how adorable these kitty ears are for a Halloween costume. We had a pumpkin carving party yesterday and she was a big hit. I have the party menu up on Pinterest if you're more interested in the food.
To make the ears I cut the points of the collar off a black dress shirt, hand sewed them onto a black headband and then outlined with pink embroidery floss. To make this costume work you don't need a kitty face onesie, a black shirt would work just as well. Use eyeliner to draw on whiskers and pink lipstick on the nose and you're good to go. If you have a little one, I'm not sure at what age make-up is safe. I'll leave that up to you to figure out.
Here's how I made the kitty ears.
These are the materials:

Since I didn't think about writing this up as a tute I didn't take any pictures as I was making it, but you can see above how the ear is made by cutting off the point of the collar. It works great because they are already finished.

Then I hand sewed the ears on to the headband with the black thread. I eyeballed where the ears should be by putting the headband on the baby and marking with a straight pin. The ears will curl forward on their own because of the curve of the head.
Then I took the pink embroidery floss and outlined with big loose stitches. That's it. Not difficult if you can get a hold of the materials. Start to finish it took me about 10 minutes once I had everything I needed. I actually did it while nursing the baby right before the party started.

She had some green legging. She didn't need them because it wasn't that cold.
