Make carnival costumes yourself: the most beautiful ideas!
The jolly time is just around the corner and even the smallest fools start to shuffle their feet. So that you can give your child a very special treat, we have put together the 11 most beautiful DIY carnival costumes for children.
1.Charlie Brown
With a yellow T-shirt, black pants and a bit of fabric paint, your little “Peanut” will quickly transform into the comic hero Charlie Brown. Simply paint a few zigzag stripes on the shirt and of course don’t forget the striking eyebrows – preferably with a little make-up.
2. Cute pineapple
For this cute pineapple cape, simply cut out a large circle from a piece of felt. Add headhole and arm slits. With a few inverted V-shaped strokes, this garment gets the typical pineapple look. With the headdress you can let off steam to your heart’s content!
3. Small snail
For this creative costume you crumple up a lot of wrapping paper and twist it into long sausages – this is how the snail shell is created. Glue a few straps to the finished house so that your child can carry the construction like a backpack. You can easily attach the paper feelers to a headband. A painted Plexiglas ball or a light, soft soft ball serves as the end of the sensor.
4. Colorful flower pot
For this particularly spring-like costume you only need a bucket and lots and lots of artificial flowers. After the bottom has been removed from the bucket, your child can slip into it. You and your child can decorate this work of art with countless flowers. Straps stretched over the shoulders prevent the costume from slipping later.
5. The Flintstones
Shorten oversized t-shirts in orange or white to fit and fray a bit at the bottom. Matching accessories, such as a necklace of white wooden beads or an extended tie, give this outfit the finishing touch – you definitely don’t belong in the Stone Age with this costume!
6. Green Toy Soldier
For this costume you will need old clothes, a large piece of plastic and green paint. Spray everything thoroughly and let it dry well. You can complete this costume with accessories, such as a matching helmet. Poses look particularly cool when your little protégé is standing on his plastic disc – just like a real action figure!
7. Funny gumball machine
With dark pants, a bright red hoodie, some felt and lots of colorful pompoms, your little sweet tooth can quickly be transformed into a cute chewing gum machine. Stick as many pompoms as possible on the hood of the sweater to create the impression of a bulging candy vending machine. Decorate the sweater with the price of a candy – that makes the whole thing look even sweeter.
8. Adventurous deep sea diver
With dark clothing and a hood, your mini adventurer quickly looks like a real diver. Matching accessories such as diving goggles and snorkels look particularly good. You can use painted plastic bottles as a replacement for an oxygen tank, and you can quickly conjure up the right flippers out of cardboard and some adhesive tape.
9. Cool rocket
This costume turns your costume into the ultimate mood rocket. You and your child can spice up this wonderful costume with cardboard, paint, foil and all kinds of decorations and make it galactically strong!
10. Sugary Bunny
This cute costume proves that you can conjure up an incredibly cute disguise with simple means. Your child is well dressed with clothes in white and delicate pastel tones. Glue bunny ears made of fluffy fabric – from an old stuffed animal – to a cozy hat. Finished!
If you don’t have the time and you still want to conjure up a funny costume for your sweetheart, this original “disguise” is recommended. A large key can be quickly made out of cardboard and with a little paint it looks much more realistic. Just attach it to your baby’s back. You’ve never put a costume together so quickly, have you?
