I've always wanted to make my kids Halloween costumes, but the one we found online this year was so cute we couldn't pass it up. I figured that we could get Cakers the cute costume and I could make costumes for Randsome and myself this year. Before we even had kids we talked about how we'd like to dress up as a family. It's dorky I know, but Randsome and I are total goofballs so what the heck; we were destined to be The 3 Little Pigs! So I hoped online and found my ideas on Kim's blog over at 733. I made a few changes to suit my needs and an hour later I was done.

| Isn't she a cute little piggy? |
As you can see Caker's costume is pretty amazing and even though I fancy myself artistic, I'm not that good. You can find her costume at Chasing Fireflies. I didn't expect my homemade pig costume to be as detailed or beautiful, but I wanted people to know that I was a pig. The first thing I made for my costume was the snout. Here is what you need to make yourself a pig nose!
Materials
Pink Yarn
Pink Felt
Bottle Cap (I used a generic brand Gatorade cap)
2 Pink Buttons
Hot Glue Gun
Directions
First, measure out your yarn to make sure that it is long enough to tie behind your head. Then Glue the center of the yarn over the top of your bottle cap.
Second, cut out a felt circle to cover your bottle cap. Cut slits in the sides so that your yarn can come out the edges (this will help you in the tying process) and glue it to the cap, covering the yarn.
Next, glue the edges of the felt to the inside of your bottle cap.
Once you have all of your edges glued, flip your piggy nose over and glue the two buttons for nostrils.
There you have it folks, a ten minute pig nose! It's super easy, cute, and as long as your bottle cap contained a beverage you like, it smells good! Stay tuned for my piggy ears and tail! Oink Oink
