My little football

Tydon was a football player this year so I thought it would be fun to have Henson be a little football. I found a costume, but it was $60 so I decided to make it instead. (Saved me $50!!)

From Baby Brother

I put together a back pack from baby brother for Tydon...
Here are a couple things I made to go inside.
