An Australian mother-of-four has shared a snap of what could be the most adorable Kmart ‘hack’ yet after turning a $9 Kmart plush toy (left) into an adorable lion costume for her baby

Previously, an Australian mother-of-four wowed social media when she shared a snap of the adorable lion costume she made for her 10-week-old baby girl Edie. 

Chloe Kotsano, 29, from Adelaide, South Australia, made the costume using a $9 plush toy from Kmart.

Ms Kotsano was organising a family photo shoot and wanted it to be a ‘fun theme’ that her kids would remember for years to come but couldn’t find a costume anywhere. 

To transform the toy into a cute costume she unpicked the toy’s seam and de-fluffed the lion.

To complete the outfit, she cut the feet off the lion and sewed some elastic in the top to make little lion feet booties and teamed the pieces with a little furry vest.
