Easy DIY Baby Construction Worker Costume For During Pregnancy

October 3, 2014 By Kelly 15 Comments

Easy DIY Baby Construction Worker Costume For During Pregnancy by Simply Kelly Designs #Halloween #pregnancy #costume #constructionworker #babydepot #underconstruction

During my second pregnancy six years ago, I needed a Halloween costume to wear to a 12 hour scrapbook crop. I was about six months pregnant so I had two requirements for the costume. The first requirement was that the costume be comfortable. Being pregnant was already uncomfortable most of the time so I didn’t want the costume to be too constricting or heavy. The second requirement was that the costume not make me hot. I live in Florida and in October it can still be in the upper 80s or low 90s. I came up with the baby construction worker. Not only did this costume satisfy my two requirements but it was also super easy to put together!

Supplies:

  • white t-shirt
  • iron-on transfer sheet
  • printer
  • iron
  • hard hat
  • cartoon image of a baby
  • scissors
  • adhesive for paper
  • fabric tool belt
  • various baby items (diaper cream, baby shampoo, bottle, diapers)

Directions:

1. Create the “Under Construction” with an arrow pointing down in your favorite computer program. Then print it out onto iron-on transfer paper. In retrospect I think I would have made the letters and the arrow bigger.

2. Iron the design onto a white t-shirt.

3. Print out a baby’s image on paper. Cut it out and then adhere it to the front of a hard hat.

4. Place baby items in a tool belt. I used my husband’s fabric Home Depot tool belt. I thought it would be fun to change “Home Depot” to “Baby Depot.” I created the design and printed it out.

I must admit that I only wore the tool belt for photos. Most of the time I was sitting during the crop so the belt wouldn’t have been visible.

I hope this costume has inspired you to create a fun DIY costume this year.

    Nice costume! I was looking for a good one, but I don’t know if people would get it. Maybe if I put food and drinks in the tool belt ๐Ÿ˜€
