This is one of the easiest costumes ever! It’s no sew, reasonably inexpensive and oh so adorable!
I made this for my son’s book week costume, but I’m saving it for Halloween too! This is a great last minute costume that will take you about 20 minutes to make!
To make your own you will need
A large piece of white cardboard (the project kind is the best)
Some ‘Hobby refill’ aka ‘Fibre Filling’ (this is found in all craft/sewing stores)
A piece of bamboo (or a large stick)
Some fake vines & leaves
Glue gun
Stapler
Step 1
Take your white cardboard and lay it flat. Use your Fibre filling and lay it in chunks onto the card – this will give you a good idea on where you would like to glue it
Step 2
Heat up the glue gun & glue your chunks of fibre filling to the card & let it dry.
Step 3
Using your glue gun again, glue all of the vines & fake leaves to your stick – I wrapped the vine around last to give it that ‘beanstalk vibe’
Step 4 (optional)
Dress your child in a flannelette shirt – I’m not sure why, but it seems something Jack would wear!
Step 5
When you are ready to go (i.e. don’t have to sit down), wrap the now ‘cloud’ around your model & staple at the back!
Ta da! A very easy, no sew, quick & easy costume!
