Cabbage patch costumes are ideal for Halloween. You can also have them any time you want to excite four family, friends, and neighbours. Celebrations call for creativity and this article shares some ideas for getting you in the frenzy mood with the right cabbage patch designs. Use the following ideas to creep your friends.

Procedure

  • Make a fun fluffy head

Have your materials ready. You will begin by designing the head. The head resembles a hot air balloon. The colors and shape need to be comical. These are the necessary materials.

  • A big ball made of wool or any suitable fabric. You can find other materials like hats from kid’s collections.

  • A lot of Glue

  • A tub to contain the glue

  • Newspaper material

  • Chunky fabrics

  • Colorful Velvet cloth

  • Spray Glue

  • Flesh spray paint

  • Optional Artist Gesso

Having these materials ready, find a working place where you can make your cabbage patch design. Consider removing important stuff from the working area to prevent glue stains; or you may cover them.

  • Making the Cabbage Patch Kid Box

Get big cardboard that fits over your stroller and use it to cover the stroller’s anterior side. Tighten the cardboard to the stroller using bungee cords. Perforate an opening in front of the box such that the doll can be seen. Use a yellow paint to color the box. Around the cut hole, make a green boundary using a construction paper. From Google images, find a logo for Cabbage Kids and make a print on a normal paper and then cut it carefully to embed it on the box using glue.

  • Cabbage Patch Doll

You can either make or buy a crocheted cap to be the hair of the cabbage patch doll. Let the hair stay loose or make braids from the hair strands alternatively. Pull out long fabric strands form the crotchet to act as pig tails. Then make ponytails by fastening the ribbons. Cabbage patch hats are readily available in the market if you do not know how to crotchet. The doll can be dressed in almost anything desirable, for example, jeans and wool jacket

Cabbage patch dolls are common toys for kids whose parents show creativity. The dolls represent peculiar human characteristic. Their height ranges between 6-12 inches. Like any other toy, they require regular washing using warm water, gentle detergent, and a sponge; there is no need for machine or dry cleaning. Since the cabbage patch costumes have tangling hair strands, it is recommended that the hair be brushed, but care must be taken not to spoil the stylish curls and designs.

Given this information, hopefully you will be in a position to create your own fantastic costumes for Halloween.
