How to Make a Hippopotamus Costume

By Family & Relationships Last updated Wednesday, May/22/2024

1). Cut the pink felt square into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half so that you have two symmetrical sides.
2). Line the two sides of your circle up on the middle of the one piece pajama. Glue the two sides to the pajama so they appear to be one circle, but don't put any glue on the zipper.
3). Use strands of gray yarn to braid together for a hippo tail about 12 inches long. Knot the top and bottom of the braid to secure it. Hook a safety pin through the top knot and attach it to the back of your costume.
4). Glue the two googly eyes to the top front of the gray baseball cap. Cut teeth out of the white felt and glue the teeth to the edge of the front bill of the hat so that they hang down.
5). Wear the costume with a pillow zipped up under the front midsection. Use a belt to secure the pillow to your waist.
