When my 3 year old and I were talking about what she wanted to be for Halloween this year, we scrolled through the Target website looking at all the costumes. She loved the Paw Patrol ones, thought the Batgirl costume was pretty cool but then told me, “No, no, no, I want to be a pine cone for Halloween”. And it stuck. I asked her about it the next day “I want to be a pine cone”. Finally we made the trip to the craft store and she decided that even though she loves pink AND purple, a pine cone it is.
While I adore her creativity and uniqueness…..not even on page 147 of Target’s costume selection am I going to find a pine cone costume. I did find a pine cone mascot for 327 UK Pounds. No. Thanks. And one DIY project on Pinterest but it didn’t really fit our pine cone vision.
This costume was recently named one of the 50 Best Halloween Costumes OF ALL TIME by Good Housekeeping! So proud of our little Pine Cone.
Sketched out some potential shapes.
Traced them on felt.

Plain brown shirt for the base.
