Making DIY costumes have now become a year round thing here! I love making costumes and figure… why stop at Halloween? So for Valentine’s Day this year I wanted to make a DIY Cupid costume for Teddy. It was easy, fun and adorable. Here’s how I put it together:

DIY Cupid Costume 

To start found a red bowtie and diaper cover on Amazon. Then I had to make some wings. I wanted something easy and using things I had at home. I found these amazing coffee filter DIY wings from Alice Wingerden’s blog. Hers are more beautiful and have some more steps but be sure to check out her site for the full tutorial.

For my wings, I printed out a wing shape via Google image. Then I cut them out of cardstock. I folded the coffee filters in quarters and started taping them on. I started with the bottom of the wing and kept layering. I attached the two wings with packing tape. At the end I used more packing tape to attach 4 pieces of ribbon so I could tie them gently at his arms. 

The wings were super easy and all I used: cardstock, coffee filters, tape and the ribbon. 

So how many years do you think I can keep dressing Teddy as Cupid for Valentine’s Day?
