Stay tuned for more post on “All Things Dr. That’s my little man dressed like Yertle the Turtle for a costume contest at school during Dr. Then all he had to do was put it on like any old shirt…with a shell…that has a tail. I wasn’t sure how Garrett was gonna wear this shell so I decided to make basically a sleeveless shirt out of the fleece and I attached the shell to the shirt. I made a little tail with a pipe cleaner inside so it would be bendable and sewed it in too. I stuffed full of batting and sewed it up. Then, I sewed about a 1in seam all the way around but stopped leaving a big enough opening to stuff the batting. The best part of sewing the shell is you don’t have to worry if you have the right sides together cause you won’t be flipping inside out etc. I pinned it all together where the edges lined up all the way around. I free handed the shape I wanted onto the blue fleece and cut out the shapes. I basically made the shell of the costume like the turtle stacks. Now for the final piece of the Yertle The Turtle costume. ![]() Finally, I hot glued each turtle to the next. I finished sewing the turtle up and hot glued the pom pom heads on. I used this opening and stuffed with batting. I sewed about a 1/2in seam all the way around and left a small opening where the pom pom head goes. This will leave the top kinda poofy to give that shell affect once stuffed. Then, I pinned the two pieces together where the edges lined up all the way around. I placed pipe cleaners in the desired positions for legs and a tail. I cut out oval shapes (one smaller and one larger) for each turtle. Finally, Mack burps and down came the stack…well you’ll have to read the book to get the rest of the story but now you know why I had to make the costume a turtle stack.Īll it took was some blue fleece, white pom poms, batting, and white pipe cleaners. Mack would complain but it didn’t make a difference. There was a turtle named Mack who didn’t like that. He ordered the turtles of the pond to stand on each other to make his throne taller. He thought if he could sit higher he would be ruler of everything he could see. You know the story of Yertle the Turtle right?….Yertle was king of the pond and decided the kingdom he ruled was to small. Mask made Easy Peasy!…after the hot glue gun incident. ![]() He just copied the look from an image of Yertle the Turtle. I can now tell everyone else not to use hot glue!įinally, I SUPER GLUED the black pipe cleaners to the top (lol) and had the hubby draw the face on with a sharpie. But at least from my experience no one else will make this mistake. ![]() I tried to attach the black pipe cleaners to the back edge of the top of the mask and melted a small whole there. Yes yes yes, I learned this from experience. Whatever you do, DO NOT use a hot glue gun! The hot glue will melt right through the mask. Before the clay could harden all the way I used super glue to attach it to the mask. I left the clay to dry but not completely. I then pressed the molded modeling clay into the mask. I also used some modeling clay, super glue, sharpie, and pipe cleaners.įirst I took the modeling clay and tried to mold it in the shape I wanted but I just couldn’t get it right so I handed it over to the hubby and he got it perfect. That was a doozy! I first thought face paint but then I didn’t think that would give the illusion and depth I was trying to obtain so on to Hobby Lobby I went. Here is my inspiration behind the whole costume… I’m starting the first post in this series with Garrett’s Yertle the Turtle costume and how I made it. Seuss leading up to his famous birthday!
