Suggestions for character costumes?

[Dale-n-Chip]

I couldn't find a clear place to ask this, so I came over here to the creative geniuses of DDA. . .

DS5 (Dale) has decided that for MNSSHP, he will be Dale, I will be Chip and DH will be Pluto. Um. . . sure, sweetie. . . just as soon as Mommy gets a creative or artistic gene we'll be in business! Let's just say that DisneyShopping.com is currently out of Pluto and chipmunk costumes.

Seriously, I am the least creative person y'all have ever met. I need some help! I tried eBay, but found nothing good over there. I've got six months to come up with SOMETHING resembling chipmunk costumes for a size 6 boy, a size L Mom and a Pluto in XL!

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks, y'all!

First let me say that I don't even pretend to be as creative as they are around here. but I did want to help bump up your questions.

My idea, in keeping with the theme around here, is to make up a t-shirt with said character on it (easy enough) and then make a head band with appropriate ears. Some of the other moms on here have talked about making ears before for school projects. I think they used some kind of foam or felt or something. The upside to my plan is you can make a t-shirt and also a sweat**** iron on and that way if it's cold or hot, either way the outfit still works. The down side to my plan, how the heck do you make the ears!?

Good luck!

Wish I could help. I'm sure there might be others on this board that will have some ideas for you. In the mean time, I recommend you also put a post on the Arts & Crafts Board under the Creativity Community. They may have some good ideas as well. The link to that board is below.
