kids lion halloween costume

Putting together a simple costume can still make a big roar! Creating a character or animal doesn't always have to be so literal. A simple t-shirt design paired with a mask makes it easier to decide on last minute and still have something to wear to a costume party!

Print Project

Step 1

Lay a yellow shirt flat and cut a wide “U” shape around the collar, creating a “bib”. Cut from the edge of one shoulder, down lower across the centre (like a “U”) and back around to the edge of the other shoulder. Cut through both sides of the shirt.

Step 2

Lay the bib flat and cut up towards the collar, creating skinny strips of fringe.

Step 3

Once the cuts are finished, pull each piece of fringe so it gets thinner and creates a gap between the strips.

Step 4

Layer the fringed over the top of your second yellow shirt like a bib (or necklace).

Step 5

Now, cut out small felt triangles from various colours and attach to the un-cut shirt using fabric glue. Let dry.

TIP: Place cardboard inside the shirt so the glue doesn't go through.
