Stick-em up! We do a lot of cute crafts for little girls, even though we only have two girls between the three of us. We're always looking for fun stuff for the little guys in our lives, so we couldn't pass up this fun wild west dress up gear!
The perfect disguise. Check out this cool felt mustache!
Using the mustache template from Family Fun, we cut two identical mustaches out of felt. Then we cut a piece of elastic to fit around a child's head (we used one of them for a measuring tool).
We sewed the elastic down to one piece of felt. Then we sewed the two pieces together. We used a sewing machine, but it was a little difficult with the curves. You could try hand stitching it if you're shy on the machine.
The loot. Make a money bag for the big heist!
We loved this easy tutorial for a money bag prop from CraftApple. Fill with rice like she did, or with wadded up newspaper or chocolate coins. Now all you need is a cowboy hat or vest. Let the wild west fun begin!

The cowboy gear is TOO cute!
Wow, that mustache is too funny!
Our son would have loved this when he was little. He loved to play dress-up.
TOO CUTE! I only have girls though. lol
OMG! That is so cute! I wonder if my princess little girl would like it!
Too cute - I had to post your idea on my blog littleantdesign.blogspot.com hope you don't mind. I think these would make a perfect party favor.
This is the first $bag I've seen from the tutorial except my own! Yay! It looks great! :o)
I'd love to make this for my 2 year old! He loves cowboys because of Max & Ruby the cartoon.
how funny, my son is going to LOVE this!
too cute! I am collecting boy ideas for my son when he gets older... not so sure a 2 month old would be too happy with a mustache! Plus it is always a good idea to collect ideas for gift giving!
ARGH! That is SO. CUTE. Love this and cannot wait to link to it! I also would have loved this when I was a little girl!
I love it! Great for Rodeo days in Tucson, AZ
This is so fricking cute. I love your site - added you to my bookmarks.
That is just hysterical!!! You are the bomb!
This is amazing. I love seeing boy-friendly gifts to craft up, especially since I have a gaggle of nephews. Thanks so much!
That's adorable!
What fun! So cute.
Lovin' the 'staches...so Tom Selleck a la Magnum P.I.! I'm so going to have to share this!
Love it! I'm the editor of that section in FamilyFun magazine, and I love what you did with the project. The bag of loot is fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing it!
I'm definitely making this for my daughter - she'd love it!
