Make a Teddy Bear Assassin Costume

Make a Teddy Bear Assassin Costume
For those who enjoy costumes of ironic humor for Halloween, the Teddy Bear Assassin costume is quick and easy, and would probably come out really great looking for anyone who has more than 1 week to pull a costume together. This took about9 hours and cost less than 20 bucks with all items found in a fabric store. You'll need:

1. 1 yard of fake fur fabric (or fabric of your choice)
2. Polyfill (1 bag)
3. 3 felt squares - 1 in a dark color, 2 in a light color
4. Some cardboard (in sheets long enough to cut strips that would wrap once around your head).
5 Quilting thread and a sewing needle (this will be much faster project if using a sewing machine)
6. Hi-Temp Glue Gun (my project took almost an entire bag of 30 mini sticks)
7. Red acrylic paint or fake blood

Optional items:

1. Cylindrical oatmeal container
2. Aluminum foil
3. Duct tape
4. Solid color t-shirt
5. Black Sharpie .

Step 1Step 1: The base of the mask

Step 1: The base of the mask
This mask design is ideal for those who wear glasses or don't want something that covers their entire face.

The first step to the mask is constructing a simple and easy base to which the fur will eventually be attached. Cut one strip (about 1 1/2 inches wide) long enough to wrap around your head and one strip (of the same width) that will run from one side of your head (your ears make a good marker for a half-way point) to the other. Attach the two pieces. (Note: for greater flexibility with cardboard, curl the strips with your finger or a scissor).

If you choose to add the fabric and design the mask a different way, this can still be used as your initial base. However, for this project, the mask was built higher on top of the head, which required adding two more strips to the foundational base. These were long strips attached in the same-x pattern, but the strips were longer by probably 6 inches or so. The additional height is discretionary since the attachment of the rest of the materials is pretty simple and adjustable to the design you want.

Attach these strips with the hot glue gun.
