What age group is this costume for?
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School

Estimated time required to make this costume:
2 hours

Difficulty level:
Almost as easy - some sewing

Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
1 plain white or pale blue pillowcase (Queen size or King size are best)
Toy bow & arrow set
Feathered wings (available at Spencer Gifts or Costume Shops)
Laurel Wreath for head
Length of Gold cord for belt

Instructions:
Cut open bottom of pillowcase so it is open at both ends.
At one end, make a slit in sides about 8 inches long.
Pin or stitch case back together at tops of slits (these will make armholes--it should now look like a dress)
Put gold cord around waist for belt
Put on wings and laurel wreath
Grab your bow and arrow set, along with the Trick-or-treat bag and go have fun!!!

Other information to consider:
This is mostly for smaller children. If making for an older child, use a crib sheet instead of a pillowcase and simply wrap around and pin at one shoulder. The rest of the directions will be about the same.
Everyone will fall in love with your little "god of love"!
