Amelia Earhart

-Start with a medium sized cardboard box.
-Cut off the flaps from the top (this will become the bottom of the box!). Save these to use for the wings (step #6)
-Turn the box over, and cut out a whole in the middle of the box. This will be where your child either sits or stands through. We ended up making this whole a little bit bigger later.
-On both sides of the box, cut a small rectangle to be a hole for the arms! This way, your child can either hold the box up, or they can stick their arms through.
-Cover the box with duck tape.
-Time for the wings! Take the two long flaps from step #2 and cut them into airplane wings by rounding off
the top. Add a few pieces of duck tape for a nice look.
-To attach the wings to the airplane, I used a few small pieces of duct tape and stuck them right above the arm holes.
Cut two small rectangles for the front propeller. Tape them together in an "x" shape. Add a circle to the front
of it and cover it with duck tape.

-Start with a simple white onesie, or pilot's onesie! We had this one from Gracie's grandpa and it came in handy for this costume! The jacket covers most of the bodysuit, so I wouldn't put too much thought into this part.
-Add some brown pants! We used some simple leggings.
-Add a brown jacket! We looked everywhere for a cute bomber jacket, but decided to use a simple sweater instead.
-Throw in some boots!
-Purchase an aviator hat if you can find one! We picked one up at Party City, but you can easily use a brown winter hat and throw on some goggles. If you have colorful goggles, you can always spray paint them brown or black to give them an aviator feel! Gracie's lucky to have her pilot grandpa who lent his pilot's goggles to her!
-A fun trick-or-treating bag makes a nice touch! We used this small luggage to hold Gracie's candy and I think it's the perfect touch!
-Add a scarf! Amelia Earhart was often seen wearing a white scarf. We had a gray one laying around, but Gracie wasn't a big fan!
