His costume was made by no other than my mom and Maddox grandmom Milagros Dacquel. By the way, for everybody information, my mom is a retired public school teacher but finished dressmaking when she was just 18 years old. (According to mom, during her time, ladies are required to learn how to sew dresses and even make dresses.)She was the salutatorian of her class.(Wow!)
After looking at the site above, we have decided to make an Elmo Costume for Baby Maddox. Mama Mila made the pattern out of Maddox pajama and sweater with a hood using manila paper.

Below are the materials that we used for his costume:
1. Garments - bought from Divisoria at P 220.00 per yard. Bought 1 and 1/4.
2. Stryroball - 2 2"inches size valued at P 1.00 and 1 3" inches size valued at P 2.00 ( if you buy at National Bookstore). We were actually fooled by a vendor in Divisoria when we bought the styroball, they sold us the ball at P 4.00 each.We bought 100 pcs. Thank God that the balls I bought was not enough for the head dress and costume so I asked my staff who lived near Divisoria to buy the ball for me, but because my staff will going to buy something in National Bookstore, he ended up buying the balls there.Well! we learned a lesson from this experience. It saddened me that the vendor who fooled us is already a senior citizen.
3. Styro paint - orange color for the Elmo nose valued at P 42.00 per bottle.
The outcome???........tsaraaaaaaan!
Of course, Baby Maddox was excited to try his costume which fits him perfectly...
Mama Mila was so happy to see her masterpiece. It's worth the hardwork we made and sleepless nights just to finished the costume.
Now, here is the pic of Maddox wearing the costume during his birthday party with his DIY standee of his pic above.
