Seeing my kid brother dressed up as the king of hearts: PRICELESS

My brother decided that, as he was without a Valentine's this year, he wanted to dress up as a giant heart and distribute candy to strangers on Valentines morning to give them something to smile about. I was so enamoured with this idea that I volunteered to purchase and make the costume myself.

Over $150 and a weekend later, this is what we have. Note, everything is hand-sewn except for the ribbon, which was what I purchased the hot glue gun for.


EDIT:
Thanks for everyone's feedback, the morning session was a success, will post photos of him in action when I get home from work tonight!
