Tutorial: No-Sew Star-Bellied Sneetch Dr. Seuss Costume

Today I wanted to share how I made a Star-Bellied Sneetch Dr. Seuss Costume for Elias. You remember The Sneetches and Other Stories, right? Such a classic! For Dr. Seuss Week a few months ago, I made simple costumes for each of my kids. I decided to wait on doing tutorials until closer to Halloween.

This costume is super easy to make and requires no sewing.

I didn’t think about a tutorial as I was putting the Star-Bellied Sneetch Dr. Seuss Costume together, but I made a video afterward talking about how to do it step-by-step.

Supplies that you will need

White t-shirt
Yellow Rit Dye
White baseball hat
Black and white craft paint (for eyes)
White felt (3-4 sheets)
Green felt (one sheet)
Black feathers
Stitch Witchery

Steps for Making a Star-Bellied Sneetch Dr. Seuss Costume:

Dye t-shirt and white hat with yellow Rit dye, following instructions in dye. This will ensure that the costume pieces match (vs. if you were to find a yellow t-shirt or yellow hat)
Cut white long triangles for the shirt
Cut a green star for the belly
Iron on all felt pieces using Stitch Witchery
Paint eyes on hat using craft paint
Adhere black feathers to top of hat

So if you are looking for a fun and easy costume, this might be your answer!
