Our son really loves Kirby and was very sure he wanted a Kirby costume for Halloween this year. We didn't find anything his size online or in the stores so decided to make one.
We bought a pink hoodie sweatshirt on Amazon that was his size and then had a stack of felt squares from Target already in the craft closet.
We used the Kirby Amibo we have and pinterest pictures as our guide to choose the colors for the felt pieces and cut them out using sharp fabric scissors (any nice scarp scissors would be fine). Then we laid out the pieces on the shirt where we wanted them to be and glued them on one by one with the glue gun.
So far it has worked out well. He has already worn it to the Zoo and to a Halloween party. I had to reglue two pieces that came up at the edge but they went right back on. I hand washed it just in case the felt would come off in the washer or dryer and then hung it dry. The felt seems to be colorfast and we have not noticed any color spreading.
This was a really quick, easy and inexpensive way to make him a costume. He is very proud of it and tells everyone his Mom made it for him so that is extra special to me.
