Our Headless Son

Dillon wanted to be a headless guy for Halloween this year. We started with a backpack that he wears and I taped the handle up. Then I added some batting with floral wire for the shoulders, sides and chest.

Had an old shirt, an overcoat, red felt for the neck hole area, gloves and lots of safety pins to position the hands, and wa la, he's headless.

His head is poking out the coat and I put a beige turtleneck on him so we could not see his skin on his neck. I think we pulled it off and the it's getting a lot of attention around the neighborhood.
