Hammerhead

I took a trip to the thrift store for this costume, and bought two large grey sweatshirts, one with a hood, and a plain white t-shirt. At a craft store, I bought a rectangle of styrofoam, poly fill, and a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of white foam. Any other bits and pieces that wound up on the costume are things I had around the house.

For the head part of the costume I cut out the top part of the hoodless grey sweatshirt. I hot glued it, stuffed it, and added the eyes, then hot glued the head onto the hood part of the other sweatshirt. I drew it out to give a better (I hope!) visual.

I cut out foam teeth and attached them around the opening of the hood. I wasn't going to add the red mouth opening, but my costume wearer got a case of shyness at the last minute, so I cut an oval out of some red fabric I already had, hot glued it around the hood opening, and cut holes in for the eyes.

I cut a fin shape out of the styrofoam. I then covered it with the grey fabric from the cut up sweatshirt, hot glued it together, and then hot glued it onto the back of the costume. I cut out long strips of white t-shirt and glued them along the side to look like the gills, and cut a big oval white piece to be the bottom part of the shark's body.
