wild west gear - dress ups for little cowboys

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!
