👋 Hi there, Margie here!

Halloween isn’t just about candy—it’s about who OWNS the night.
And this year, nothing dominates the streets (or living room seas 🌊) quite like our Shark Costume Pattern.

👶➡️🦈 Sized for kids ages 3 and up—so the little ones can splash, snap, and rule the living room seas.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill DIY. This is a jaw-dropping, fin-flashing, tail-thrashing transformation.

Here’s what your little predator will love:
🦷 Bold teeth lining the hood (choose separate triangles or a full strip—your call).
👀 Striking eyes with black centers that make the costume come alive.
🌊 Gills, nose, and snout for authentic “shark attack” vibes.
🦈 Fin + Tail combo that slices through any party crowd.
🧤 Hand fins (gloves) that double as fierce accessories.

👉 Translation? They won’t just wear this costume—they’ll rule the ocean.
