Homemade pinata costume

Because 1, homemade pinata costume. I need my money for ramen and 2. I've seen enough of the same "themed tube dress" to know it wasn't worth my ramen money for 1 yard of fabric that everyone else was wearing. In the end I decided to make a pinata costumer!

This homemade costume for kids entered our Halloween Costume Contest , and won 2nd place in the Favorite Halloween Costume nomination! I made this for my 2 year old out of felt and pajamas. It's pretty straight forward just cut the felt pieces in strips and hot glue them on to the PJ's. The hat is made out of thick cardboards and more felt. The ears are just cones made out of thick paper. I got the idea from online but there are not too many photos or instructions.

Pinatas are a popular party decoration and activity. But have you ever thought of dressing up as a pinata for Halloween or a costume party? Measure and cut the cardboard box to fit your body size. Cut off the bottom and top flaps and then cut two armholes on either side of the box. Be sure to leave enough space so that you can move around comfortably.

Generally, the costume is a skirt and a shirt covered with strips of streamers attached by tape. Rather than tape every single layer of streamers, I made strips with several layers of streamers attached, then taped those "pinata strips" clothes. I made the mistake of laying the skirt out flat and putting on the tape that way. This caused me grief, because unlike the surface of my table, I am not flat.

Thanks for the inspiration! How wide did you cute the strips? This makes sure that the tape is in the right shape for your body. In case you didn't do it the right way, fix it by pulling back most of tape, then re-adhering it while wearing the skirt. This was my first crafty project.. I'm attempting this for my 3 yr old.. You might find it easier to use a hoodie to make this but for me knowing my son, I knew he wouldn't keep a hoodie on but a ball cap he will. I'm making it out of a two piece set right now and I finished the pants and realized we had that issue lol. They were a little large for my son, which is good because the felt kind of binds up the suit once it's glued on, so without this extra space, he may not have been able to move very well think Randy on "A Christmas Story". Aww thanks Lisa I'm about to start the shirt In the end I decided to make a pinata costumer! A word from Wendi, the 'Pinata' costume creator: I made this for my 2 year old out of felt and pajamas. Would it make the costume lighter if I used colored fabric instead of felt? Thank you again for sharing your idea, Wendi!

Then I put a regular ball cap on my son and put the costume hat on over-top. I found this was the easiest way to get the costume on and off but I guess if you found one with a zipper or snaps you could just sew or glue around the zipper or snaps and put it on your child that way.

A word from Wendi, the 'Pinata' costume creator: I made this for my 2 year old out of felt and pajamas. I did cut it the long way. The fabric on the top kind of folds over once the pj's are on if that makes sense. I cut the feet out of the PJs, and since I wanted a seamless look, I had my son wear the PJs backwards so the suit zips in the back, rather than the front. I am so making this for myself! How wide did you cute the strips?
