Halloween is just a few weeks away and perhaps you are wondering how to make a crayon costume. Buying the ready-made costume can be more expensive so if you are on a tight budget knowing how to make a crayon costume can really help you put aside some savings. Creating the outfit is rather easy. You only need some felt in various colors including black. You will also need to have a piece of cloth colored in black. Keep in mind that creating this outfit will not take much of your time, so if you only have a day away from Halloween, you can certainly complete the costume.
You can start this project with a few of your neighbors. Together, you can learn how to make a crayon costume. It can certainly be fun if you can create crayon costumes for everybody in your family.
First of all, always remember to know the measurement of the person who is going to wear the crayon costume. Even when you know how to make a crayon costume, it is not worth it if the person can’t fit into it. After doing the measurement, leave an extra two inches and cut the colored felt. In order to create the body or tube of the crayon, use strong glue or sew the felt. Create a slit on the back and knee area so that the wearer can move comfortably in the costume.
To hide the slit, use Velcro strips. Make sure that the body fits right below the armpits. Use the black felt and cut out alphabets until you can form the word crayon. Using the colored felts to create alphabets and the black felt as the background is another creative way on how to make a crayon costume.
Use a matching colored fabric and cut it into a triangular shape. This piece is for the hat. Now that you already knew how to make a crayon costume, you can start creating for the whole family!
