DIY Olaf Hat Costume

My son’s Christmas party theme in school is Olaf/Frozen so they were asked to wear a touch of blue, white, and aqua blue. He wanted to wear aqua blue and I went to different malls to check for an aqua blue shirt/polo shirt but I couldn’t find anything. I was trying to persuade him to wear blue or white since we have that at home. And to finally convince him, I made a DIY Olaf Hat Costume.

I didn’t know where I could buy felt cloth so I bought felt paper, but sadly I couldn’t find black/white felt paper in the four National Bookstores that I’ve visited. Good thing I remember his firefly costume so I used some materials of his costume to make his Olaf hat such as black felt paper, brown ribbon, and the antenna.

I got the idea on this site, but there was no template for everything. I just printed the Olaf picture, got the eyebrow pattern, and drew shapes for the eyes and nose. Fortunately, his dad has a white cap from fun run freebies.

Materials

Felt paper
Fabric paper for the nose
Oslo paper
Brown Ribbon
Wire
Glue
Glue gun/ glue sticks
Scissors
Cotton for filler (nose)

I trace my pattern in felt paper and oslo paper.

Cut and paste everything together. Place cotton inside the nose. Cover the wire with brown ribbon.

Attach everything to the cap using glue gun.

I made three circles for his white polo shirt. I sew the circles so it won’t ruin the shirt.

My son was happy with our DIY Olaf Hat Costume.

Firefly Costume

Last semestral break, I thought we have time to relax because no school for five days but I was wrong, my son’s teacher gave “Firefly” poem that he needs to memorize for their Speech Contest.

Good thing that it was a group contest so I did not have a hard time in preparing for Firefly costume. Active moms in school volunteered to make the DIY Firefly costume and we just paid for it.

I love the costume, kung kasama lang ang costume sa criteria, winner na kami. Lol Anyway, my son’s section did not win the contest but he had fun in wearing the costume.

Last Friday, my son had dress me up activity again in school and good thing I had ready costume for him. This scrub suit was a gift three years ago and now lang niya nagamit. Buti kasya pa! hehehe! What a coincidence too because my son celebrated his birthday on that day so parang costume party pa.

When I grow up, I want to be

Last July, I mentioned in my “I want to be” post that my son wanted to become a chef so when I learned that they would be having a Dress Me Up Activity, we immediately went to the market to look for costumes. It was stressful because we only had three days to look for a costume. I haven’t confirmed with my son if he wanted to become a chef but since he mentioned it two months ago, I searched for ready-made chef costumes. It wasn’t easy, I was planning to look for a tailoring shop but time is very limited and I’m not sure if they will accept rush orders. I only bought a toque and apron.

After school, I asked my son what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said chef. I was convincing him to be a nurse, doctor, or engineer like his daddy so I wouldn’t look for costumes anymore but he said “No, I want chef!” so I showed him the toque and apron that I bought and he said, “Thanks mommy, wash it na”. #inutasanagadako.

After dinner, my husband was also convincing my son to be an engineer or president but my son really wanted to become a chef so what can we do. My son is only in preschool how much more if he will enter college. hehehe! But deep in my heart, I felt so proud because as early as now, he knew what he wanted and he had an ambition. I should be happy because he doesn’t want to be a janitor, bagger, or a dump trailer driver. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with these jobs but I’m just happy that my son has a big dream.

Last Saturday, we were still searching for the costume, I saw a ready-made chef costume but unfortunately, it is too small for my son and no more big sizes. I can’t find checkered pants so I just bought black pants. Then last Sunday, we looked for a shop to personalize his toque “Chef Ethan”
