Souped Up

This costume was inspired by my kids’ tendency to beg for Gefen Noodle Soups every Sunday at half past noon. It’s the classic kids’ comfort food, almost a tradition, stemming from my camp days.

You’ll Need:

• yellow felt
• off-white felt
• white U-shaped foam edge protector
• Velcro
• dark fabric iron-on printing paper
• light fabric iron-on printing paper or iron-on vinyl
• wide satin headband
• size 6 (chunky) white yarn
• scissors
• hot glue gun
• hot glue sticks
• icon templates (available below)

1. Measure a piece of felt to fit your child’s body, from their neck to their knees. It should comfortably fit around their body in width and should get slightly narrower toward the bottom. Add an extra inch to the width to allow for a Velcro closure to overlap.

2. Secure Velcro along the length in the back.

3. Measure a strip of the U-shaped foam to be the same width as the felt. Hot glue the top of the felt to the inside of the U. It will form the round top of your soup cup.
