Doctor Who Cat Costume | allonsykimberly.com

Be honest. Are you at all surprised to see my cat dressed up as The Doctor? Didn’t think so.

STEP 1: MAKE THE FEZ

1. get a dixie cup and red felt // 2&3. glue one edge of the felt to the cup // 4. wrap the felt around the cup // 5. glue edge // 6. trim excess felt

1. put a small line of glue on the edge of the cup // 2. fold a small piece the felt over the edge of the cup // 3. continue around the entire edge // 4. glue & fold the edges over the bottom of the cup (top of the hat) // 5. cut a circle of felt to fit over the bottom of the cup // 6. glue circle to cup

1. poke a hole through the center of the bottom of the cup (top of the hat) // 2. thread a piece of embroidery thread or yarn through the hole and fray the edges

1. thread elastic through once side of the top of the cup (bottom of the hat) // 2. continue to thread through the other side of the cup // 3. knot both ends so the elastic wont come off; leave enough room for it to fit on the cat’s head securely, but comfortably
STEP 2: MAKE THE BOW TIE

1. Cut a long strip of red fabric, twice as long you want the bow to be // 2. glue/hem the long edges // 3&4. glue the ends together // 5. flip right side out // 6. put a dab of hot glue in the center of the seam

1. pinch the center of the fabric into the glue // 2. put a dot of glue near the outside center edge // 3. fold fabric over and glue in place // 4. repeat on other side // 5 cut a thinner strip of fabric and glue/hem the edges // 6. glue the center of the thin strip to the center of the bow // 7. wrap and glue one end; trim excess // 8. wrap and glue the other end; trim excess // 9. BOW!
