DIY Costume Fun
With the abundance of epic Star Wars parties going on since the release of The Force Awakens, there’s been some really cool DIY ideas! This is one of them.
What you’ll need…
- Inexpensive pleather or knit fabric
- Scissors
Follow the below template:
1. Cut your fabric into a rectangle shape, make sure you are using your child’s measurements. For the knit vest, I suggest adding few more inches to the width (around the shoulder region) if you have enough fabric.
2. Fold the rectangle in half, with short ends together, and mark the center of the rectangle.
3. Cut a line up the middle of the rectangle to the marked center, along the longest part of the garment. Cut a small oval like shape on the fold of the rectangle for the neck.
4. Cut a strip of fabric about 2-3 inches wide and as long as about twice your child’s waist measurement. This is the belt.
5. No hemming is needed because knit and pleather don’t fray. Place the vest on your child and tie it in place. Trim the belt as desired. You may have to fiddle with the placement a little bit to get it to look just right. The knit robe is a little easier to work with than the pleather.
