Then I sewed the green shirt and the ripped vest. I think I used an existing t-shirt as a pattern. You could probably just find old t-shirts at the thrift store and then layer underneath with batting and a sweatshirt. <br /><br />The little guy on the back was in a "trashcan" made out of a piece of cardboard bent into a tube shape and painted with silver paint. The little guy was sewn out of the same fabric as the shirt and I stuffed him and glued the face on with felt pieces. (we almost used a cabbage patch doll for this) The collar was made out of felt and velcro and there was string attached to it that connected to each hand of the mini zombie guy.<br /><br />The sign was cardboard, painted with stencils that I made, and the pole was a thick cardboard that I painted, but you could use an old wrapping paper tube as well. <br /><br />Hope that helps.Sarbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647328985785636350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782040891429671095.post-88470230008470828922013-09-23T12:10:18.396-06:002013-09-23T12:10:18.396-06:00I found you from a google search!

We're lame and not up with the cool games so we probably wouldn't have, but I love how great everyone turned out. Especially Andrews' costume.wileywomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049414983612321241noreply@blogger.com
