HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS:
GARDEN GNOME COSTUME
This is a NO SEW costume.
How to make a Garden Gnome Costume out of a pair of adult footies:
Start with one pair of Red Adult Footed Pajamas
Make a
Gnome Hat
from Green Felt (available 6 foot wide for about $5 a yard from fabric stores).
Cut 2 triangles, staple them together, turn it inside out - fold up the brim.
Cut a beard, mustache, sideburns and eyebrows from fake fur or felt and staple to the hat.
See pic at right and below. |
 
Make a
Gnome Tunic & Belt
from Yellow or Orange Felt or Fabric, cut up a large Tshirt, whatever.
Cut a buckle from Posterboard or Cardboard and slip the Belt (made from Plastic or Felt) through it.
Or just tie a sash - or sheets braided to look like rope - around your waist.
Make a
Gnome Pipe
from Orange Posterboard.
Cut 2 pipe shapes, tape them together, form them to a rounded shape by bending and smooshing them and stick some oak leaves or felt in the bowl.
Make
Gnome Implements
For ideas go to "Gnomeland" for photos of thousands of Gnomes.
You can carry rakes, fishing poles, baskets, little brown jug, watering cans, lanterns, giant carrots, gnome porno mags, etc.
(just checking to see if you're paying attention!)
