How I Turned My Baby into Cup Noodles This Halloween (Costume DIY)
October 31, 2020
Happy Halloween folks!
I dress up Justice as CUP NOODLES for his first Halloween! Well, and also a piece of sushi to be exact (do you see a theme going on here?).
One of the things that I enjoy most in motherhood is that I get to dress him up. Even though his first Halloween this year doesn’t involve trick or treating or parties of sort, I still want to make it fun at least for pictures and for my own entertainment. Ha-ha. I need to cherish this time when I still get to decide what he is going to wear for Halloween because I doubt he's going to let me do that once he gets older.
I made this cup noodles or I should say "cute noodles" costume for him with my Cricut and few simple supplies. Follow along to see how I make this cup noodles costume for baby Justice.
DIY Baby Cup Noodles Halloween Costume
Supplies:
- Yellow Yarn
- White beanie
- Blank onesie
- Mini green pom poms
- Orange foam sheet
- Wooden dowels
- Red and gold HTV vinyl
- Glue gun
- Cricut machine
- My Cute Noodles cut file
I got most of the supplies from Dollar Tree. To make diced carrots, I cut out 2-inch strips from the orange foam sheet and folded it in half, and glued it in place. This gave the carrots some thickness and dimension. Then with scissors, I cut them into square pieces.
The green peas were from the mini pom-poms. I didn't need to do anything there. For the noodles, I first wrapped the yellow yarn onto some wooden dowels. I think I did about 10 of them. Then I soaked all of them with water then baked them on parchment paper in my oven at about 200 degrees Fahrenheit until they were all dry (about 15 minutes).
Once they were dry, I unwrapped them from the dowels. And my curly instant noodles were done! Next, I glued the noodles onto the beanie along with the diced carrots and peas. As for the graphic, I first drew the logo with Illustrator and then cut it out using my Circut machine onto red and gold vinyl. With my old-fashion iron, I pressed them onto the onesie for about 30 seconds until the vinyl adhered completely. And that was it!
Cute Noodles - Much More Than a Cutie

ReplyDeleteI tried curling your yarn with a wooden dowel and wetting it and drying it out but it wouldn’t curl like your picture shown.. is there a step being missed ?
ReplyDeleteI also used your method for curling the yarn and it did not work like yours. Any tips? I tried dabbing a little mod podge on the yarn before baking and that helped a bit.
ReplyDeleteI just soaked them in water and baked them until dry. Not sure if it’s the type of yarn you use that makes the difference
DeleteI'd love to hear your thoughts and comments! Come back soon :)
