DIY Cat & Mouse // Halloween Costume

( Cake Pop Series )

I give you... our classic kitty cat and her trusty side kick, mouse!

This week’s theme was “Pair” or what I like to think of, “Two of Kind” like peanut butter and jelly or salt and pepper (which would also be a great Halloween costume!)

//  Kitty Cat Face  \\

Abby LOVED the kitty face which was really black eye liner and pink lip stick.

I wanted to make our kitty cat costume slightly different by making her outfit equally white and black. As I feel it really gives the costume a more younger, softer and gentle feel. 

//  Mouse Balloon Tutorial  \\

( 7 steps and 5 minutes to make)

Step 1

Using paper (not cardstock since it’s too heavy) cut out your mouse ears to the desired shape and leave three strips at the bottom (left, middle and right as shown). 

Step 2

Using a black sharpie, trace the inside of each ear (leaving a little bit of space) to create more depth.

Step 3

Cut out three very thin strips of black paper for your mouse whiskers with scissors and cris cross them as shown.

Step 4

Cut out a very small pink circle for the mouse’s noes. Then tape the noes and wishers together.

Step 5

Blow up a gray balloon, then tie a string to the balloon and a balloon weight.

With double sided tape (or tape) connect the nose/whisker piece to your gray balloon.

Step 6

Add your ears to the balloon with double side tape (or tape).

Step 7

Draw black oval shapes onto the middle of the balloon for eyes.

With only two and half weeks left until Halloween, we are starting to squeeze in as much toddler friendly Halloween fun as we can by hitting up the pumpkin patch as a family this weekend! 

And afterwards, it’s a tradition to have my famous chicken tortilla soup which I shared earlier on the blog here. It’s extra yummy this time of year! : )

Until next week... (the theme is family costumes!) I hope all of you have a very fun and festive fall weekend!

Warmly, Steph
