Last-minute Halloween children's cow costume:
You need the following:
- Colorful fabric scraps
- A white T-shirt
- scissors and textile glue
- Optional face makeup for Halloween makeup
And here comes the instructions:
- Step: Cut out different shapes as “cow spots” from the fabric scraps and arrange them as you like.
-
Step: Now use textile glue to glue the fabric scraps onto the T-shirt in any order you like. And the super simple costume is ready and can optionally be complemented with face make-up!
Last-Minute Halloween Children's Costume Lion
You need the following:
- A hairband with ears
- Natural colored raffia (preferably two different colors)
- Scissors
- textile adhesive
- yellow long-sleeved shirt
- beige pants
- Optional face makeup for Halloween makeup
- fabric scraps (in yellow and pink)
And here comes the instructions:
- Step: Cut out a yellow piece of fabric to match the size of the ear and glue it to the headband using textile glue. Then glue on a pink piece of fabric for the inside of the ear.
- Step: Cut the raffia into pieces about 15 cm long and tie them one by one to the headband with a single loop so that the headband is completely covered with raffia.
- Step: A yellow long-sleeved shirt and beige trousers go well with the headband. Optionally, the costume can be complemented with face make-up. And the quick lion costume is ready!
