I know I’m a day late, but I wanted to show off my little girl’s Halloween costume…she was too darn cute in her little black cat costume!
I originally wasn’t even going to make a costume for my 15 month old – we didn’t have anywhere to go for Halloween, and had another commitment during Trick-or-Treat night. But my sister convinced me (there was really very little convincing she had to do!) and when I found the idea and a tutorial from Do It Yourself Diva, I knew it was a project I could do easily and inexpensively!
The tutu was done in 20 minutes – I made it the same way that I did her 1st birthday tutu. I used 2 yards of black shiny tulle, cut into approximately 6 x 18″ strips. I made little ears hot glued to hair clips using craft fur and felt. The tail was a bit trickier…I tried using a bunch of black pipe cleaners wrapped in a craft boa, but no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to stay up, so it was a little droopy. Still cute, though!
I’m glad I threw together a quick costume for her – we ended up visiting my husband at his office, my sister on campus between classes, and my dad at his office. It was a fun afternoon and we got lots of smiles! The photos are precious to have, too.

This is so cute and looks very doable. I have a 15 month old too and I have not gotten anything for Halloween yet. Everything I keep finding looks cheesy and too big! Thanks for the idea!
[…] was inspired by The Unoriginal Mom to make my own Halloween Costume for Reese. You can see below she was thrilled to wear the tutu. […]

What a lovely Halloween costume for your little girl! The tutu sounds easy to make. Too bad the tail drooped a bit, but it was still cute. Glad you had a fun day visiting family!
Thank you very much pako highway
What a cute little black cat costume! I love how you put it together so quickly and inexpensively. The tutu is adorable, and even the droopy tail adds to the charm. It’s wonderful that you were able to share her cuteness with family. Speaking of cute, if you want to turn those precious photos into fun cartoons, you should check out AI Cartoon Generator.
