So Emmie needed a costume for the school chorus (she was the lion in The Lion Sleeps Tonight) and I was asked ever so nicely by her to make it (I was the only parent supplying a costume, all of the others were already owned by the school.)
Anyway, here is the result! (I actually made this over Spring Break, why yes I am way behind in my blogging!)
 |
| I made the mask by covering a black mask from Party City with fur, and then I hand Painted the markings on the eyes with just acrylic craft paint in white, beige, gold, and black |
 |
| Here she is trying it on at home. |
 |
| And finally, at school on the big night! |
That’s got to be the coolest lion costume ever!!!
@Jen ThompsonThanks Jen!
Broadway would happily have used this costume!!
