I cut out an oval for the base layer and then cut out the bull and hooves and border for the secondary layer and glued that on with hot glue. I also sewed on a collar I created with some excess white fabric I had from a previous project.įor the belt buckle, I used a couple layers of craft foam. Then I used a paint pen to draw in the red designs.īy now, the shirt was dry, and I went back in and sketched with a pencil where I wanted the designs to go, and then I went back over everything with paint and a paint pen to fill in the detail. I used white stiff felt for the bits sticking out of the cuffs as well as on the chaps. Then I stuck Velcro so that the cone would open and close and cut an opening for my wrist and cut the excess off the other end. I hot-glued white fabric into the middle of the buttons and attached the same white rope I used for the hat to the pull string.įor the shirt cuffs, I used yellow stiff felt and shaped it into a cone. Then for the buttons and the pull-string, I used wooden rings and spray-painted them silver. I took those to a friend’s house to paint on the cow-print while we watched Over the Garden Wall – which is such an appropriate show for October, don’t you think? I glued the chaps onto an old pair of jeans after the paint was dry. While that was drying, I cut out the shape of the chaps from some thick, canvas-like material and sewed on the black bias tape along the edges. Then I bought a white-long sleeved shirt (on sale) from Kohl’s and painted the yellow area first on the front and then on the back. I used white cording to glue between two pieces of the brim to create the white edge and then looped the white rope after punching equally spaced holes around the brim.


I had to combine the pieces a bit to make the brim wide to match Jessie’s. This DIY Jessie costume was a super-quick turnaround costume, but I had a lot of fun making it! First, I made the hat out of some red stiff felt.
