Noah the Gnome Costume

I made my 18 month old son a gnome costume complete with a forest themed stroller complete with mushrooms. The stroller was made with a piece of brown fabric sewn onto the existing fabric and then I sewed on silk plants and flowers. I made the mushrooms with paper mache and also sewed them on. The costume was a long sleeve onesie I cut and sewed on a brown felt belt and yellow buckle. The beard and eyebrows are made from a fur-like fabric. The hat is red fleece. He kept the beard, hat, and eyebrows on most of the night!
