Halloween is just around the corner! As early as now, parents are starting to pick their children’s costume to avoid last minute rush. And if you want your child to be unique during the party, then there is no better concept than Angry Birds costume. Florida Guy shared some easy to follow, step by step procedure on making your own birds and piggies costume.

Materials Needed:

• 4 yards fabric – red, yellow, green and / or black
• 4 yards cotton muslin sheets, or any material alike
• Felt, 8 x 11 yards in size
• Stuffing material – any stuffing material that is used for pillows
• Scissors
• Needle / Sewing Machine
• Thread – same colors with fabric
• Glue Gun / Fabric Glue
• Drawing materials for the Angry Birds face to be drawn on felt
• A copy or picture of the character from Angry Birds that you would like to make

The Basics

Go to any fabric or craft store and look for the right kind of fabric. It is advisable to make use of a stretchy and fuzzy textile. It can be any material that is used up to make a snuggie blankets or the likes. Buy 4 yards to make one costume. This may depend on the size of the person who will wear. It can cost around 4 bucks, so technically you wouldn’t mind if the cloth exceeds, or something. Also, buy 4 yards of a muslin fabric in white. Find the cheapest kind available. Alternatively, a sheet can also be used. This will be for the lining inside. Make sure you purchase felt which is about 8 by 11 inches in size. Pick colors like red, green, yellow and white.

The Procedure in Making the Angry Birds Costume

1. Fold the fabric in half. With a freehand, shape a bird as you cut it while it is folded. This makes 2 identical pieces of shaped fabric. This will be for the front and for the back part.
2. Do the same thing for the cotton muslin sheets.
3. Sew each side of the muslin sheet’s edges and enclose them together. Make sure you leave enough open part to insert the stuffing.
4. On the attached part of the muslin, cut a whole. This part is for the face of the person to wear to be visible. For a tip, trace a cereal bowl to guide you on where to cut. This helps you make sure that you cut the whole that is smaller than the face.
5. Sew the sides of the face whole to attach the fabric and muslin sheet.
6. Place on the sides two slits for the arms. Approximately 7 to 8 inches for each arm should be cut. Likewise, stitch them to attach the fabric and muslin sheet.
7. Stuff the front part of the costume with pillow stuffing material until it becomes padded or plumped enough. Leave the back part as is. Stitch together to close the openings.
8. Use felt to make the Angry Birds costume face. Choose from yellow, red, and black angry birds and also green king pig. Use glue gun to place it in the front, or you can use fabric glue if you like.
