 How to Make an Adult Elf Costume
This is a fun and easy costume which requires NO (real) SEWING! We used staples and safety pins.
Making your adult elf costume:
Start with a pair of red footed pajamas
Make an Elf Hat
Use green felt with red felt elf ears
(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 taking a triangle of felt, stapling it closed, turning it inside out, then stapling the ears to it.
Make some Elf Trim
Use felt. Cut a zig-zag along cuff, ankle & belt lengths. Pin them to yourself.
Give yourself an Elf Complexion
Use green eye shadow.
Much easier to wash off than green body paint!
