Homemade Christmas Costumes Ideas
from: Karlie BestlerChristmas has many traditions, and one of the most enjoyable ones for children are taking part in Christmas school plays. Sometimes children are involved in pantomimes and other activities. In many churches at Christmas time, children act out the nativity. Kids love dressing up for these parts, and it is usually up to mom to supply their costumes.
Putting these costumes together is a lot of fun. At a most basic level, these costumes can be made from spare sheets. Shepherds can use towels wrapped round their heads and rope for belts. An angel costume can made from a fancy dress or a sheet with homemade wings.
Children's nativity costumes don't have to be sophisticated, and sometimes the simpler the better. Christian Christmas pageant costumes such as Mary and Joseph Christian Christmas costumes can be sewn from a sheet with holes cut for the head and arms. These Christian Christmas pageant costumes can be finished off with a rope for a belt and sandals. They will look quite authentic on the stage. A similar process can be used for the shepherds and the kings Christian Christmas pageant costumes by adding headdresses for the shepherds and crowns for the kings or wise men.
For angel Christian Christmas pageant costumes, any type of dress or light fabric outfit can be made into an angel Christmas costume. The wings and halos are quite easy to make from cardboard, pipe cleaners and wire. Gold and silver pipe cleaners can be made into a circle and then attached to a headband to make a nice halo. The wings can also be made out of wire and mesh.
Many fathers dress up as Santa Claus at Christmas. Sometimes children's plays involve Santa Claus. Homemade Santa Claus suits for adult Christmas costumes can be easily made using fake fur fabric for the coat, the pants and the hat. Fake fur, felt or even cotton can be used for Santa Claus's beard. Then to complete the whole Santa outfit, use a thick black belt and black boots and the Santa Claus homemade Christmas costumes will sure be a hit. Mrs. Santa Claus homemade Christmas costumes can be made in just the same way with a skirt instead of pants.
Elf homemade Christmas costumes are really easy to make. A pair of tights with a very simple dress-like shirt with a felt hat. Felt slippers with pointed toes adorned with bells finish off the costume. With a little imagination, it is easy to make fantastic elf homemade Christmas costumes.
Everywhere you go, children love reindeer Christmas costumes, both for their pets and of course for themselves. Antlers can be made from stiff felt and then attached to a plastic headband or a stocking cap. Noses can be painted red or black using makeup and a brown outfit can be worn as part of the homemade reindeer Christmas costume.
