I am a huge fan of Halloween in general and more specifically family costumes. For my youngests first Halloween we decided to dress him up like a little circus lion and my husband and I dressed up as lion tamers (which seems fitting now that we have two boys). I purchased the baby lion cub costume online (links to other sizing below) and I made this cool circus wagon to take the costume to the next level ;) You can find the DIY instructions below.
Baby Circus Lion Costume (6 - 12 months)
Baby Circus Lion Costume (12 - 18 months)
First I purchased this wagon off craigslist or you can get it here.
I purchased 10 dowels from home depot (yellow size).
Then I cut the dowel with a hand saw and taped 5 together with red duct tape. 5 for each side first.
Then I taped each side to the wagon and used dowel to line the top and give it structure. I kept the back and front open for easy entry and access.
Then I added some red poster paper to the bottom and added this cute bunting banner to the top.
My hubby and I were the lion tamers (hats from the dollar store). The lion cub costume was adorable. I could not have been happier.
Our little lion cub all tuckered out.
