Cogsworth Is Complete!!!

I finally finished the Cogsworth costume for my daughter's

middle school play, this year is Beauty and the Beast.

My daughter, however, is not Cogsworth. She is a

teacup in the enchanted castle that will be singing and

dancing to the song 'Be Our Guest' and she's having a blast.

I'm so excited about the way this costume turned out

(although it did take me longer than I initially thought

mostly due to Carter not ever wanting me to leave

his side). I had the best experience creating

my version of Cogsworth, and I have now been

volunteering almost every night during play rehearsal

to design and paint Belle's cottage and the Beast's library

....it's all been an absolute joy to work with the other kids

and see their creativity, exhausting but fun!!

I have three photos to share of the different stages

that the costume was built before I finally finished

...sorry for the poor photos but I took one or two of

them with my cell in the middle of the night down

in our basement while I was working on the

costume but I think you'll get the idea.

I almost forgot...I made this costume out of 3/16" foam board

and then simply covered it with fabric and gold trim.

The center is made from foam board and scrappy supplies.
I will also post picks in about two weeks once I've had a

chance to order the photos (not allowed to take our own)

and you'll be able to see the costume on, complete

with pants, shirt, hat, and shoes.....very cute!!

Have a fabulous Sunday evening,
