DIY Family Weather Costume

For the Sun Costume:

1. Paint the half-sphere yellow. Let dry.
2. While it's trying, cut out your sun rays! Cut about 12-14 triangles (I made mine two different sizes, one shorter, one longer) out of cardstock.
3. Lay all the triangles in a circle, overlapping each other. Secure with a piece of tape in the middle.
4. Hot glue the foam sphere on top of the triangles.
5. Hot glue a headband to the bottom of the triangles.
6. Pair with a yellow outfit!

For the Rain Costume:

1. Cut out about 40+ raindrops from cardstock. If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, that really helps! But you can totally hand cut them too.
2. Glue two raindrops together, sandwiching the end of a length of fishing line in between. I recommend leaving the fishing line long so you can cut it down once you start attaching them to the umbrella. Repeat with all the raindrops you've cut!
3. Time to stitch them to the umbrella. Thread the fishing line of one of the raindrops through the sewing needle, and stitch it to the bottom of the umbrella. If you don't want to sew, you could also just glue the fishing line on the inside but you risk seeing the glue! Space them out at different lengths all around the umbrella.
4. Pair with a blue outfit!

For the Rainbow Wagon + Cloud Toddler Costume:

1. Hot glue stuffing all over the upper half of a white onesie/PJ set.
2. Cut out a rainbow shape from foam core/cardboard. It should be about 4-6" wider than your wagon.
3. Paint it rainbow colors. This doesn't need to be super precise! The stripes of color can be different widths, I actually think it looks better that way! Let dry. (p.s. Ignore the notches you see on the bottom of mine, that was a mistake I made when I was testing ways to attach it to the wagon!)
4. Wrap a piece of white felt around the wagon from front to back and secure underneath by hot gluing the ends to themselves. Then wrap another piece of felt around, this time from side to side and do the same. Basically you're trying to cover all the fabric of the wagon so you can glue stuffing to the felt!
5. Hot glue stuffing all over the felt on the outside of the wagon. Again, doesn't need to precise!
6. Use zip ties and tie it to the metal part of the wagon (assuming you're using the style wagon we used)! Hold the rainbow up to the side of the wagon and figure out where you want it to sit. Then poke two holes around the metal top of the wagon on one side. Slip the zip tie through the holes, connect it through the back and pull taught. Then repeat on the other side.
