A word from Jasmine, the 'Monsters Inc Boo' costume creator:
My daughter looks identical to Boo from monsters inc. I'm always hearing from everyone she look just like her especially with her pig tales. This year I had 3 choices and wasn't planning on making them it was between lil mermaid, Alice In wonderland or Boo all of which me and her dad would have dressed accordingly with her. So I searched everywhere for a boo costume but all I found were DIY boo costumes so I decide on boo and said I would do my best to make her costume. I have never sewn before nor have I ever made anything from scratch like this. I looked online at different tutorials got some ideas and decide what would be best to make a good costume. I honestly doubted I would finish this. I worked on it for a couple weeks whenever I got a chance. I made 2 hoods the first one didn't work out so I tried a different way and it was perfect. I had some help with the body like I sai! d I have never sewn so I asked my mom for help so she showed me with the body and from there I went on to finish the rest. I know i couldn't have done it without her and I thank her so much. There was definitely a lot of trial and error but I was extremely happy how it came out.
I bought two purple fabrics and a gray all were 2 yds, Batting, White and black felt, 2 styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, mop, tan leggings. I sewed the body first stuffed it with batting and sewed a few lines through it to give it the same look as the one on the movie. I then made the hood I sewed up a regular hood and used a mop head for the hair I cut it into pieces and sewed them on one by one then I had 3 pipe cleaners and twisted them together with a permanent black marker I made the eyes put them on the pipe cleaners and sewed it into the hood. I added Velcro to the back and on the hood to attach to the costume. I cut the leggings and used them as her selves the detail on the legging kind of reminded me of the arms on boos costume It was the closes thing I could find. Even under her costume she was dressed as boo pink shirt purple pants pink hair accessories. In the end i spent about $30 to make the costume
