Being a huge fan of Halloween, I always try my best to make my costumes every year.  This year poses the challenge of not knowing if I will still be pregnant on October 31st! Oh, a broken sewing machine doesn't help either.

At 36 weeks, I wanted to wear something that would be comfortable but cute.  Add a little bit of cuddly plus a whole lot of 1980s nostalgia, and you've got yourself a Care Bear!  I think I may have underestimated how big Louie has gotten, haha!  If you've got a bun in the oven, I suggest making a belly badge with a diameter of at least 10 inches (this one is 7 inches).

Here are the instructions on how to make your own Grumpy Bear Costume:

Materials Needed:

- Blue top & pants
- White Felt
- Blue Felt
- Red Felt
- Headband
- Scrap Paper
- Hot Glue Gun

Instructions for Bear Headband:

Step One: Make a template for your ears.
Draw a small circle on the scrap paper. Then draw a rectangular tab at the bottom of the circle.

Instructions for Belly Badge and Tushee Tag:

Step One: Make a template for your belly badge and tushee tag. 
Draw a large circle on the scrap paper. Draw the cloud, raindrop, and heart (for the belly badge) and one large heart (for the tushee tag) on another sheet of paper.
