No-Sew Wild Kratts Costume

Fold the 1/2 yard of black felt in half widthwise.

Cut a scoop in the top of the fold. This will be the top center of the bat wings.

Fold the fabric back widthwise and cut repeating scallops starting at the bottom, moving outward toward the top. Taper in with your scallop shapes near the top and end with your final scallop about 4-5 inches from the top.

Starting on one side of the top of the wings, cut 2 vertical slits to form a band. Move over about 5 inches toward the center of the wings (toward the scoop for the neck) and repeat. Do the exact same thing on the other side of the wings - the bands you are creating will be what your child slips their arms through to wear the bat wings.

On thin cardboard, draw a tall, slightly curved triangle with a tab on the bottom. Repeat this shape so you have 2 tall curved triangles (these will be the ears). Cut them out.

On the bottom of each ear where you cut out a tab, cut a small slit in the center of the tab. This will allow you to bend the tabs in opposite directions so they will stay in place when you glue them onto the headband.

Trace the ears onto gray felt and cut them out. Repeat the tracing and cutting so that you have enough felt to cover both sides of each ear. Glue the felt onto the ears.

Fold the tabbed portion at the bottom of the ears outward (each little tab in the opposite direction from its partner). Glue the ears onto the headband.

Cut out small strips of blue felt. Glue them onto each ear.

To make the vest, cut out the sleeves and a portion of the waist off of the black t-shirt.

Cut out 1 large and 3 small circles of blue felt. Cut out 2 long thin rectangles, 2 medium rectangles, and 4 small squares of blue felt. Glue them onto the vest as show in this picture.

For the gloves, cut out 10 small blue circles of felt (1 for each fingertip) and a blue circle for each palm of the gloves, as well as a square for the outside of each glove. Glue them onto the gloves.

Cover the Creature Power discs in packing tape on both sides (or laminate if you have the equipment available). Cut off the excess packing tape.

Glue a small Velcro square to the center of the back of each disc and to the front of the largest circle on the vest.
