Dobby the house elf costume Harry Potter

In case you haven't realized it, we love Harry Potter around here. I can't help it really, I grew up with the books coming out. I was a Sophomore in college when The Deathly Hallows came out and it was a bitter/sweet moment. It was the first and last book that I looked forward to with so much anticipation.

And so for Halloween, it was only fitting that I pass on my love of Harry Potter to my kids. Thus, baby sweet cheeks was Dobby the house elf. He was only 4 months old and he made the cutest little elf. Seriously, just look at that smile. He was the perfect age to be a little wizarding elf because he couldn't take the hat off and he smiled so much.

And he wasn't the last baby to be dressed in a Harry Potter costume, you can find our little girl as Hermione Granger little Witch and also this baby grown up later became a Hogwarts Express train Conductor. Ok he just wanted to be train, but I made him a Hogwarts express train because, why not? If you make this costume, please tag me, i'd really love to see any of your Harry Potter creations.

DIY Dobby the House Elf Baby Harry Potter Costume

Supplies

- nylons

- felt

- hot glue or a sewing machine

- an old pillowcase or cream fabric

Step 1: Cut Ears

Basically I eyeballed a shape of what looked like Dobby's ears (pretty similiar to Yoda ears). Then I cut for felt pieces (two felt pieces for each ear)

Step 2: Sew

I then sewed them together with ear contour lines in the middle.

Step 3:

I then measured my baby's head. Then I took the waist part of some old nylons and cut two half circles from the nylons (see below).

Step 4:

Take your bottom piece of your hat and lay it down right side up. Then place your ears inside of the hat so the edge of the inner part of the ear is touching the edge of hat. Then place on top of ears the top part of hat, right side touching the ears. Then sew around edges except the bottom. And your done!
