You will need:

  • Plain grey tracksuit
  • Small amount of coloured felt for buttons
  • Elastic to attach the wings
  • Coloured wellies
  • Purple and green fabric (e.g. felt)
  • Cardboard box
  • Paints
  • Hemming tape eg Wundaweb

Five easy steps

1. Cover the hood of the top with purple fabric and sew or stick into place.

2. Cut green and purple shapes as shown and stick or sew in place on the front of the hoodie.

3. Stick or sew buttons made from circles of felt.

4. Cut the cardboard box into a set of wings and paint purple and green. Make two shoulder straps with elastic, cut holes to attach, then knot to secure.

5. Add a pair of colourful wellies, green or purple to match if possible.
