Deviled Egg Costume
This deviled egg costume is a silly take on a classic devil Halloween costume, which makes it cuter for babies and toddlers. I've also heard this one called a "bad egg" costume.
A relative of mine was a deviled egg for Halloween one year back in the late '70s. His horns were of the plastic store-bought variety but these DIY ones are just as cool.
This is another costume using the tinfoil and masking tape technique that I developed back in my starving artist days of college.
Deviled Egg Costume Instructions:
Step One - Horns
Wrap the aluminum foil around the headband and sculpt horn shapes. Keep on adding foil sheets and squeezing until you have the desired shape. Wrap all the tinfoil in masking tape, leaving no foil exposed. Finally, lay down a sheet of wax paper or other protective surface and paint the masking tape using non-toxic acrylic paint.
Step Two - Egg
Using felt, cut out your white and yellow pieces and stitch them together. I used two white pieces and stuffed it a tiny bit to create more of a 3D egg shape. You can then sew this onto a shirt or just pin it on.
Step Three
Have fun! TIP: Keep the temperament of your child in mind when picking out costumes to make like this one. Many toddlers will not for a second allow a headband to be on their head so you'll have wasted time and effort. Test it out first with a plain headband and see how it goes!
