Easy No Sew Black Cat Costume

Black Cat Costume

Costume Basics:
1. Black tights
2. Black shoes
3. Black long-sleeve shirt
4. Store bought cat ears
5. Face paint crayons
For the Skirt:
1. 2 inch wide black ribbon
2. 2 spools of tulle (we found 15 yards of black tulle on a spool at Hancock Fabrics)
3. Scissors
4. Measuring tape


Measure your child’s waist, and add 10 inches. Cut your black satin ribbon to this length.

Measure your child from the waist to the length you want the skirt to be. Double that measurement and add about 2 inches. Cut all your tulle to strips of that length.(tip: lay the two rolls together and cut them at the same time.)

Begin attaching the strips of tulle to the middle of the satin ribbon, working your way out to each end. Take each strip of tulle and fold them in half. Grab the folded strip and make a loop at the top of the fold and pass the tulle under the ribbon, pull the two loose ends of tulle up through the loop, and pull taught. Now the tulle piece is attached to the ribbon. Repeat this process until you attached all the strips to the ribbon or you achieve the desired fullness.

Tie the ribbon around your child’s waist. Adjust the tulle so each strip is equally spaced. For extra fun, decorate your tutu with glitter. Make some glue dots on the tulle and attach small ribbons, feathers, lace or other crazy accessories to it.
