[BoysOnToast]

so long as i can find black and white stripey top, black leggings and a black cat mask/ears and tail i shall be alright for Mog.

but owl?

ds is going as mog too

yeah? what have you got for a costume? any links? (so i can blatantly plagiarise? )

ooh, am liking the sheet poncho, with white tights and top and owl mask...

must find owl mask and cat mask, or at least ears and tail... someone linked to one a week or so ago,...

oh sorry, yes. boys. both.

Mog is 4, and Owl is 3.

i think they'll wear tights. Owl will anyway...

ah yes, good observation - the legs are black.

yes, black tights for each of them, with black shoes.

paper plate mask? brilliant!

aw, would you like me to post pics, if they are worth looking at?

take comfort from vicariously bookdaying through me

Wings - Large oblong scarf in brown(ish) - 2 hair bobles and a bull dog clip

Attach middle of scarf to neck of teeshirt or top

Tie one corner (usually the top corner) at each end to a bobble

Put bobbles round each wrist

Adjust level of bulldog clig at neck to make wings longer or shorter

thanks KatyMac. but if i do raggedy edges to the poncho sheet thing, that should 'do' the wings...

i have rubbish pics of them as an angel and a lamb in their nativity. lighting was rubbish and they refused to stand still for a pic outside [scowl]

hopefully will do better with Mog and Owl.

ok, so ds1 is now flatly refusing to go as Mog. flat out refusing. [scowl]

any ideas how to do a sodding Grufallo costume?

caaaaaaliiiiiiiii

Dress in brown
Mask with teeth & wart
cardboard or felt prickles on his back?
