![]() I started with the shoulder straps then measured where the bottom should be accordingly. Somehow I only had one sticky side on my velcro… I must’ve lost the other side in my giant bin of sewing stuff, so I had to hand sew the unsticky pieces onto the shell. I added self adhesive velcro to the points of contact for the shell… So on the shoulder straps, on the two points behind the bum & then on the side straps, which I added later. I didn’t want any of that “life jacket crotch strap” happening. The main point for me was having the entire front covered. I figured I’d add on side straps after the middle part was trimmed to size… it was hard enough to try & do fittings on a squirmy baby, haha. I cut straight down to go over his torso, then cut out two “holes” for legs on the sides & continued on with a straight edge to go over his bum. Now it’s time to make the front & straps so it can stay on! Here was my thought process for this shape– I rounded out the neck & had 2 straps to go over his shoulders. You can even just do simple rectangles & I’m sure it would look just as good. Those ended up being kind of trapezoid shaped & I alternated how I glued them on (right side up, upside down, right side up, etc.) since that’s how they fit best. Once the dome of your shell is covered you can continue onto the edges of the shell. There ended up being 4 “half hexagon” shapes on the sides & then the 3 at the top/bottom that I just cut to fit because they ended up being weird shaped spaces to fill. I freehanded these, starting with 3 hexagon-like shapes down the middle. The next thing you’re going to do is cut out your brown pieces for the shell & glue them on. Just do what you gotta do so the other side looks nice :) So this picture is from the future– hence the glue marks & brown felt pieces– I just took it apart to show you what it should somewhat look like…Īnother picture from the future! Take your other felt oval & glue it down on the back. It doesn’t matter what the it looks like because we’re going to be covering it up. Here’s a picture of what the back should look like, & the other side is the dome-shaped shell. I got caught up in the process & forgot to take pictures (typical Kristen move, smh!) but you’re going to glue the felt to the cardboard & fill it with fluff so make sure you leave an opening to do so. PS you might as well double up your fabric & cut 2 out at once, because you’re going to need another one the same size later. You want it to have enough overhang so you can stuff it with fluff & still have room to glue it around the back. I placed my cardboard oval on top of the felt & used a Sharpie to make dots maybe 3 inches larger than the cardboard, then used them as a guide when cutting. Using the green felt, you’re going to cut out a larger oval for the shell. I freehanded mine & it ended up being 13″x8.5″ Felt will work just as well!Ĭut out a cardboard oval. Brown fleece- the kind I got had different shades of brown which made it feel more realistic to me.I did take some ideas from The Almost Perfectionist’s DIY Baby Turtle post, but I also just kind of winged it to make it my own. I figured it was an easy DIY, but I couldn’t really find any tutorials online for exactly what I wanted. He was also crawling, so his costume was perfect for him in more ways than one :) & since he was conceived in Hawaii, we started calling him “honu”– Hawaiian for turtle. He’d be turtle lippin’ if he didn’t have so many Cheerio’s in his mouth, haha. He used to do this thing where he’d put his top lip over his bottom & we’d call it “turtle lippin’,” haha.
