It was so easy to put my costume together!
Ears, bow tie, and tail
I bought the ears, bowtie, and bunny tail (that you can't see in this pic) in a set. It was at Wal-Mart in the costume section for just $4.97. The bowtie is obviously not part of the original Energizer bunny costume, but I thought it was too cute to not wear.
Shirt and pants
I just wore a pink shirt that I already had. I purchased it several years ago from a Ralph Lauren outlet store for either $10 or $15. I don't remember exactly. I bought the pants from Wal-Mart in the children's section for $5.99. I had to get an XL because they were out of large and the medium was too tight. I ended up rolling it up a couple times. They were so comfy and they'll be excellent to lounge around in.
Shoes
I actually have to pairs of pink shoes and chose these ones because they're much more comfortable. I bought them this past summer at an outlet store in Gulf Shores. The Energizer bunny actually wears blue sandals, but I had to wear closed-toe shoes for work, so opted for these.
Tutu
I made the tutu from tulle purchased at Wal-Mart for just $0.97/yard. I used 3 yards of tulle. I also bought some stretchy elastic from Wal-Mart for $2.97. I didn't use that much of it, so there will be a lot for future tutus! They also had the option of buying it by the yard, but I opted out of this option.
Drum
I was pretty stressed about figuring out what to do for the drum. I ended up buying two foam boards and a poster board from Dollar Tree. I used an X-Acto knife to cut out the circle and then used a hot glue gun to glue the poster board to the two pieces of foam board. I painted the red lines with red paint and foam brush. I super glued blue ribbon on the outside to make it into a front backpack to wear.
I also spray painted my hair pink. This is definitely another one of my favorite DIY costumes that I've done thus far.
Oh and look who surprised me with a visit:
