Cut about an 18-inchlong piece of craft wire. Take your left-over fabric tube from when you covered the slinky and slide that tube over the wire. Fold over and hot glue the ends of the fabric tubes to hold it in place. Every child thinks that certain favorite toys are really alive and can have adventures. Come on, admit it, you did! But what would you have done if they came to life like Andy's toys in Toy Story? What would your toys have done? When you have a brilliant idea for an exciting outfit, your friend is captivated enough to want one, too. Of course, showing up to a party in a look identical to your pal might be a faux pas. Fortunately, there is one kind of party where that’s never an issue! Design & Details Show up to the party with the ultimate costume caper when you and your buddy dress up in this officially licensed Adult Slinky Dog costume from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story. This Made By Us design is a two-person costume that takes the classic “horsie” costume but is inspired by the beloved character from your favorite animated series!

Measure the circumference of the head that will be wearing the front bodysuit. Divide that number two and draw a dome shape on your light brown/tan felt. The base of the dome should be that head circumference measurement divided by two. The height of the dome should be about 6 inches. Measure the height of each from shoulder to mid-thigh. Measure the waist of each person and note these measurements down. Cut out two teardrop shapes for the ears out of dark brown felt. We recommend the ears be about 6 inches long. Now cut a slit on each top corner of the hat. The slit just needs to be big enough to slide a tab of the ear in and hot glue it in place. Making Slinky’s Tail Make sure you have another piece of brown felt underneath so that you can cut out both sides of the hat at once. Cut about ½ inch around the dome line through both pieces of felt. You will then sew the two pieces together along the line. You can now flip the hat inside out so that the sewed seam is inside the hat. Now start sliding the tubes over the slinky coil. On the two ends of the slinky just fold over a little bit of the fabric and use hot glue to close the seam. We also found it helpful to hot glue the edges of each fabric tube to the slinky once they are in place. This prevents the tubes from sliding around and uncovering the rainbow slinky.This fun movie series gives hints. They have lives and feelings, friends and foes, and they want you to play with them and have fun.It's a story about toys. It was the first feature-length computer-animated film and considered one of the best ever made. It earned a special Academy Award for itspioneering CGI methods. But at heart, it's a buddy picture about two very different characters who become good friends. Now you can bring these characters to life with our Toy Story costumes! For the slinky coil of the costume, we will not need the entire slinky. I recommend cutting about 12 loops/coils off of the slinky to use for the costume. We will then be wrapping the slinky in grey fabric tubes. To create the fabric tubes, cut out strips of grey fabric that are 3 inches x 44 inches. Fold the fabric strips in half and use pins to hold the fold in place while you sew along the seams of each strip. Use a wooden dowel to turn the strips inside out. This will put the sewed seam on the inside of the fabric tubes.

The image above shows the basic shape we are going for when cutting out the suit. We will fold the felt in half and cut along the fold which will prevent us from having to do a shoulder seam. We will start by cutting a rectangle shape. The width of the rectangle should be your waist measurement divided by 2 and then add three inches. (Example: If my waist measurement was 22 inches my width would be 14 inches. 22/2 + 3). The height of the rectangle is the height (shoulder to mid-thigh) measurement.Lights (This part is completely optional, but if you would like to wrap the slinky and tail in lights we recommend these lights.) Cut two small tear-shaped pieces of the dark brown felt and glue them on one end sandwhiching the wire with the two pieces. Now cut two circles out of the tan/light brown felt. On one of the circles cut a slit to allow the wire to slide in and come out of the middle. Glue the two circles together sandwiching the wire but make sure the wire is using the slit to come out the center of the top circle. You can coil the tail into a spring-like shape. The last step is to add a piece of velcro on the bottom of the circle. This will allow the tail to attach to the bodysuit. Note: The velcro will attach right to the felt so you can move the tail around wherever you want. Shh! Are all the humans leaving? It's essential to stay in our quiet and immobile state so long as they're around. If they knew that we toys could run around, talk, and go on adventures without them, it might be harder for them to come up with their own stories for us. It's our job as toys to give everyone that feeling of tremendous joy and awesome memories. That's how you get their name written in marker on the bottom of your shoes, after all. That's the point of all of this!
