Snail Costume

All homemade, no purchases required--the hat is crocheted from stash yarn; the shell is a roll of foam rubber, spraypainted and held together with duct tape; strapped on using some old AFO velcro straps.

Costume was inspired by the snail character in the "Frog and Toad" books by Arnold Lobel.

Todo hecho en casa, ninguna compra necesaria - el sombrero es de punto, la concha es un rollo de goma espuma, y se mantienen unidos con cinta adhesiva; atado con correas de velcro.
Traje se inspiró en el personaje de caracol en la Rana "y el Sapo" libros de Arnold Lobel.
