DIY Angry Bird Costumes

If yous've been reading this blog for any corporeality of fourth dimension, y'all probably know that our boys are just a wee-scrap obsessed with Aroused Birds. In fact, we've accumulated quite a collection of the costly toys (thanks to grandparents and uncles). And so when I asked the boys what they wanted to dress up as for trick-or-treating, they naturally requested to be Angry Birds. Rather than buying the costumes (which would have been Style easier), I decided to brand my ain DIY Angry Bird Costumes.

I'chiliad non gonna lie…these costumes took a adept amount of time to brand. But the boys love them and they seem higher quality than the ones you tin can buy (plus, they were way cheaper to make). I didn't have a design, which made it a bit more difficult at first, but the 2nd costume went much faster than the first. :)

Here's what you'll demand: ane 1/2 yards of fleece per costume (nosotros used scarlet and yellow), coordinating colors of felt (black, white, orange, yellow, tan),permanent marker, ribbon, sewing machine, polyester stuffing.

1. To make a circle, I tied a slice of cord onto my Sharpie, tied a knot and held it firmly in identify while circling around the cloth (folded in half).

2. Cut the double-layers out, then cut arcs for the neck-holes and arm hole.

2. Trace onto a double-layer of white fabric. This will be the inside of the costume, so you can apply whatsoever fabric you have.

iii. Utilise the sharpie-ribbon trick (in step #1) to make a half-circle in your coordinating color for the bottom of the angry bird. Trim off the excess and pin it onto the bottom of the forepart piece.

4. Sew directly onto the red cloth.

5. Create the confront. I eyeballed everything and sewed information technology onto a black felt background before sewing onto the front end slice of the costume. When I sewed the yellow onto the black for the nib, I stuffed information technology with a little polyester filling while information technology was still on the sewing automobile.

six. Suit all the elements onto the costume prior to sewing them on.

seven. One time the face has been sewn onto the front, pivot the white fabric (inner lining) piece onto the elevation (the face will exist on the inside).

8. Sew a ane/2 seam. Go out an opening of nearly 5 inches at the bottom of the costume.

9. Stuff the inside with some polyester filling…not too much, but enough for the costume to go on its shape. Sew the lesser opening closed. Repeat for the back of the costume as well. You should now accept ii pillow-similar pieces.

ten. Pin the shoulders and about v inches on each side underneath the arms. Sew together together (and exist sure you backstitch). You lot might take to put some of the polyester filling down while you sew.

Repeat for round 2…this was the only picture of the progress of the Outer Space Xanthous Angry Bird.

I forgot to accept pictures of how I made their hats, but information technology was actually elementary. I used stocking caps, poked two small holes in the elevation, threading a pipe cleaner through, and sewed a felt flap over the pipage cleaner.
