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.

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.

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. Cut streamers of crepe paper to the length of your choice. Using double-sided tape or glue, attach them to the box, covering the entire surface. Mix and match colors to create a festive pinata effect. Start from the bottom of the box and work your way up.

Because 1. 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! Keep reading to learn how to make your own quick and easy pinata costume. 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.
