Project - The Fantastic Foxes

This weekend Husband and I went to our friend's Halloween party dressed as the Fantastic Mr. and Mrs. Fox! It's one of my very favorite movies and I have been wanting to do it for Halloween since it came out!

Mr. and Mrs. Fox! 

On to the details!

I got lucky and found a long sleeved yellow trapeze cut dress for $3 at Salvation Army!  I cut the sleeves to 3/4 length and used the remainder to add a collar and a paintbrush pocket!

Then I made a stencil (using my method from this post) of an apple to paint the apples onto the dress! After they dried I painted a green leaf on each apple. I also painted a wood button yellow to add to the collar!

I drew out a design on letter sized paper and cut out the different pieces of the faces from colored felt. I hot-glued everything on, and glued the felt mask to a cheap plastic one from Michaels! It took some adjusting cutting out the eye holes correctly, and I had to cut away some of the plastic for comfort.

Finally, I made a simple tail for myself and felt band-aids for my husband's bottom! (Mr. Fox's tail gets shot off in the movie!) I even made a cardstock version of Mrs. Fox's  cameo brooch!

We got a lot of compliments, particularly from those who'd seen the film!

Cost breakdown:

$3 - felt

$2- 3-pack of plastic masks

$2 - thrifted button down shirt

$3 - thrifted yellow dress

Total - $10

Everything else came from things we already had on hand!

 Before and after! 

Happy Halloween and thanks for reading!!
