HALLOWEEN COSTUME IDEAS:
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE COSTUME
THIS IS A NO-SEW COSTUME.
How to make a Max (Where the Wild Things Are) Costume out of a pair of adult footies:
Start with one pair of Adult Footed Pajamas
See what colors are available in your size by visiting our Shop By Height Page
If we don't have a Grey Footie in your size, consider a Pink, Black or Blue one!
 (The construction of our pajamas is very simple - so one that is too large could be altered if you are really good with a sewing machine...)
Make a
Crown
from Felt - and Posterboard
(Felt is available in a 6 foot wide version for about $5 a yard from fabric stores)
The hat in the photo was made by just cutting a large piece of felt, rolling it into a cylinder and stapling it to cut posterboard.
Staple the Bunny Ears inside (flopping out just a little).
Cut 12" x 24" piece of Felt - sew or staple the back up so it looks like a hood - put it over your head and put the crown on top. Draw whiskers on the sides.
Make some
Foot Toppers, Buttons & Paws
from Felt.
Then pin them to your footies.
Make a
Major Tail
from Fabric.
Staple two tail-shaped pieces together and turn it inside-out. Pin to your butt.
See diagrams below and right...
 Make a
Scepter
from Posterboard, Tin Foil & Duct Tape.
Maybe use a styrofoam ball inside the top piece.
Go wild. |
