Black Cat Tutu Halloween Costume

Well, it’s almost Halloween and I have been busy making costumes.  

We have decided to go with a royal theme around here–a knight, a princess, a baby dragon, and a king a queen–but I have also been working a couple of costumes for friends of ours who have their hands a little full right now.  

And, since those two little girls are already super cute, I decided to make them black cat tutu Halloween costumes.

Because, really, every little girl needs a tutu on Halloween, right?

In a lot of ways, this is a Pinterest costume.  

In the spare moments of my day, I have been surfing Pinterest and found all sorts of good ideas and pieced them together into this costume.  

Because I didn’t come up with, really, I just wanted to show off my cute little girly modeling the costume and give you the links to all of the tutorials that I used.

First off, I used this tutorial for the tutu.  

The only adjustment I made is that I used 2 types of tulle–one a little courser so that the skirt was a little fuller and had a little bit more texture.

I made the ears and the tail based on this tutorial.  

Here again, I made only a slight alteration.  

I made my ears with just felt and black pipe-cleaners.  This way the ears stick up on their own.

And finally, I added the little kitty mittens. I found these little mittens very cheap (yay for being fall) and just hot glued on some pink paw pieces.  

Super easy.

And, there you have it!  

Add some black leggings, a black shirt, and a cute little girl and the costume is complete.  

I was able to make the entire costume in a couple of hours, even with a 4-month-old baby that insisted on being held and 2 toddlers ripping apart my craft room and literally laying on the costume as I made it.  

So, if you have yet to pull together a costume for your little girl, this one is totally doable!

All the best,
