DIY Halloween - Baby Circus Lion

by - 15:56:00

I am a huge fan of Halloween in general and more specifically family costumes. For my youngests first Halloween we decided to dress him up like a little circus lion and my husband and I dressed up as lion tamers (which seems fitting now that we have two boys). I purchased the baby lion cub costume online (links to other sizing below) and I made this cool circus wagon to take the costume to the next level ;) You can find the DIY instructions below.

First I purchased this wagon off craigslist or you can get it here.



 

I purchased 10 dowels from home depot (yellow size).
Then I cut the dowel with a hand saw and taped 5 together with red duct tape. 5 for each side first. 


Then I taped each side to the wagon and used dowel to line the top and give it structure. I kept the back and front open for easy entry and access.


Then I added some red poster paper to the bottom and added this cute bunting banner to the top. 


My hubby and I were the lion tamers (hats from the dollar store). The lion cub costume was adorable. I could not have been happier.
