Fozzie Bear Costume

So this Halloween I’ve decided I want to be more creative and go out dressed as a Muppet’s Character.

And I’m thinking I could have a lot of fun dressing up in a Fozzie Bear costume as he has a lot of room for the design, a lot of style and loads of corny jokes.

I decided to take another look at Fozzie Bear for Halloween. I saw a picture online that shows someone dressed up in a Fozzie Bear Halloween costume.

There’s even an actual head piece and a fuzzy top with paws that you can buy. In the picture I looked at earlier the person dressed as Fozzie Bear is only wearing pants for a bottom, that’s definitely easy enough.

I really wasn’t trying to spend a lot of money. I have to admit though, Fozzie’s nothing but a fuzzy suit with a tie, small hat and a pink round nose. A Fozzie Bear costume might be easier to put together.

My uncle has an old pork pie style hat kind of like Fozzie’s that I bet I could borrow for my costume. Also, I’m thinking about maybe going to see the fabric samples at Joanne’s fabrics to price the fur for his outfit. Fozzie Bear is adorable but my first thought is that I would need a lot of furry fabric.

For the eyes I could rig something out of ping pong ball halves, that’s how Jim Henson made the original Kermit the frog you know. Might need some felt for eyelids, but I forget if Fozzie Bear has brown or pink eyelids, I know Gonzo has purplish blue ones. I could even buy a Fozzie Bear mask to wear if I wanted to.

Clothes are easy after that as Fozzie Bear doesn’t usually wear any, but wouldn’t it be fun to grab a hawaiian shirt to recreate an episode of the Muppet show with?

Maybe I could sweet talk a friend into going dressed up as well as one of the Muppets too. She totally could be Gonzo as she can almost do the goofy sounding voice.

If I got a couple of small pillows I could make my Fozzie Bear costume belly stick out more than my own too. Then I wouldn’t get so warm, because we all know how hot fuzzy fur can be. For the bow tie, my friend Nikki who is a wonder at bows can help me by making it super fluffed out.

And if I went with a brownish sweat suit instead of fur and simply made a headdress and hands and boot covers, this outfit could be a little more cost effective for me. But what else could I do to make my Fozzie Bear costume the best?

I could always buy a Fozzie Bear costume premade. If I did that it might not save me as much money but it would certainly save me a lot of time and effort and it would be exactly what I wanted the end product to be – a Fozzie Bear costume.

And it would also be something that I could use over and over again and at other parties in the future too. Heck, I could even dress up my kid in a toddler Fozzie Bear costume if that’s what he wanted.

Hmmmm, so, I think this might be the route I go for this year after all! Happy Halloween. Wocka, Wocka, Wocka!”
