Hot Air Balloon Rooster Costume

My daughter was a rooster in a hot air balloon from the book Hot Air. We used a picnic basket we already had and cut the handles and bottom off. The balloon is attached with dowel rods in a hula hoop. We then took a 36” ball atttached a cool whip bowl with gorlilla tape ( hot glue will make it pop) and covered the whole thing with old fabric and gold pieces I cut off an old princess dress. The rooster was just a T-shirt I cute and added dollar store feathers. The mask I already had just added feathers and felt beak. I drew the other two characters and hot glued them to the basket. Her feet were yellow kitchen gloves stuffed and slipped over her shoes. She won 1st place and got tons of complements!
