Pea Pod Costume
Once the peas are attached, it's time to stuff the bottom section of the pod. Fill it until it is firm enough to hold a shape, but soft enough to mold. You don't want a lot of weight in this costume. Once you've finished stuffing, sew the top of this section up. For added strength, sew a 2-inch strip of leftover material all the way around the top of the lower pod segment (see picture).
Now you can finish the top pod section. Because you don't want stuffing coming out of the top of the costume, you can fill a light pillowcase with the stuffing desired and then place it inside the top segment. Be sure not to stuff the pod too tight, or it will be difficult for your child to hold all that weight on his or her head.
The final touch is to cut out a leaf shape from the felt square and sew it and some curled pipe cleaner to the top of the pea pod. Put your child's face through the opening and tie the straps to see if everything fits. You may need to cut a bigger hole in the costume if it sags over your child's eyes.
