I made this for Oscar for Halloween 2011. The pattern is from the book Glue and Go Costumes for Kids Super-Duper Designs with Everyday Materials by Holly Cleeland. I just happened to see a blurb somewhere that someone was doing something about easy costumes at the library like the day before it was supposed to happen. So I go not expecting anything and Holly was there and did a great slide show of her designs, she's amazing, check her out! She did an on the spot costume of a bunch of grapes which was fantastic. So of course I bought her book and had her sign it. She has since come out with a second one. Everything is very easy and just like the title says, it's either glued or taped together and they are fast, fast projects. Oscar won "most creative" costume at school with this one. The eyes are 2 Styrofoam plates, the teeth and claws are Styrofoam cups. Whole thing took me like 2 hours to make. We do the Haunt the Zoo here for Halloween and it was great to see the kids reactions to him. Some were scared or were surprised when he would growl behind them.
