DIY Make Your Own Owl Costume

This post is the first in a series of posts called “DIY Make Your Own Owl Costume”. My family and I have been making this costume for years, and it’s one of my favorite costumes to make. My daughter loves her owl costume and she wears it almost every day.

My daughter loves her owl costume so much that she has already told me that she wants to keep wearing it when we get a new house, because she loves wearing it! I think that’s pretty cool. She also told me that when she gets older, she wants to wear it as her Halloween costume. So I guess this is a good way for her to start learning about making different costumes and getting more creative with them.

I’m excited about this project because I’m really interested in making kids’ costumes and I really love owls, so this will be fun for me as well! This post is also for anyone who wants to learn how to make their own owl costume but doesn’t know where to start. So if you’re looking for a DIY owl costume tutorial, you’ll love this one! It’s easy enough for kids to follow along with and they’ll love wearing their new costume once they’ve finished making it!

In this blog post, we will discuss the steps

This is a very easy tutorial on how to make a DIY Owl Costume. It took me about 3 days to complete my costume, but I had some sewing experience. This is not difficult, but it can take some time if you have never done any sewing before. You can also use this same tutorial for any animal costume that has ears and feathers!

First, start with the body of the costume. You will need:

A one-piece adult pajama suit in the color of your choice. I used brown for my owl.

A piece of felt in the color of your choice for your belly. I used white.

A piece of felt in a contrasting color for your belly design (optional). I used yellow for mine to make it look like an owl’s belly.

Felt in the colors of your choice for ears and eyes (optional). My eyes are made from black felt and orange felt (for the beak). My ears are made from white felt and black felt (for the inner ear).

Ribbon in a color of your choice (optional) to make a bow around your neck or waist to make it look more feminine if you want it to look more feminine than masculine (which is what most owl costumes tend to look like

I have to admit, I am a bit obsessed with all things owl these days. Not sure why, but when I came across this owl costume on Pinterest, I knew I had to make it for my daughter for Halloween.

Here are some tips to getting the same look!

Supplies:

4-yard white fabric (I used a cotton/poly blend)

1 sewing machine (you could also do this by hand)

2 yards of brown felt

2 yards of yellow felt

1 yard of orange felt

1 yard of black felt (for the eyes)

sewing thread in white, brown, yellow and black

fabric scissors

Mod Podge and sponge brush*

Halloween is fast approaching and I know a lot of you are looking for costume ideas. I was inspired this year by my daughter’s favorite cartoon, PJ Masks, because it’s all about Owlette, Gekko, and Catboy. The main character is Owlette and that’s who I decided to make my DIY Owl Costume out of. This costume isn’t just for Halloween. My daughter loves her costume so much she wanted to wear it to school the next day during their superhero week. She also wears it when we go to the park and play pretend with her friends.

I think this costume is fairly easy to make and doesn’t take too much time so if you have some extra time this weekend, you can definitely make your own owl costume.

The first thing you will need is a black hooded sweatshirt. You can buy these for under $10 at Walmart, Target, or any other superstore such as that.

The second thing you will need is some felt. You will want the colors to be orange, pink, and white. These are the colors that are going to make up the owls face.

You will also need some scissors, needle and thread and a hot glue gun. For the eyes: cut out two large white circles from the white felt and glue them onto the front of your hoodie. Once those are dry, cut out two smaller orange circles and glue those on top of the white circles. Then cut out two even smaller circles from the pink felt and glue those on top of the orange circles.

Then use your scissors to cut out a U shape above each eye for the eyebrows and then cut out a triangle nose piece from your orange felt. Glue these on as well.

For the wings: Cut two large wing shapes from your orange felt that curve slightly upwards in 2 layers so it looks like you have 2 wings on each side. Make sure they are big enough to extend past your arm holes in the sweatshirt. Glue them onto the back of your sweats

If you’re looking for a last minute Halloween costume that’s both adorable, comfortable, and can be made in under 30 minutes look no further! This Owl Costume is the perfect costume for the busy mom on the go. The best part? You probably have all of these things sitting around your house already.

Here’s what you’ll need:

A white long sleeved t-shirt (I got this one at Wal-Mart)

A brown hooded sweatshirt (I got this one at Wal-Mart)

Brown Felt (I got this at Hobby Lobby)

Foam Sheets (I got mine at Dollar General)

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun

1. Cut out two identical pieces for the body of the costume from the brown fabric. If you can find a similar shade of brown fabric it would be great, but I didn’t find one so I settled for what I had.

2. Sew them together, leaving a part along the top open. Make sure to leave about half an inch allowance for stitching, and do not forget to backstitch at the beginning and end of your sewing.

3. Cut out white circles from the white fabric and sew them onto the front of the fabric on both sides of the opening that you left in step 2.

4. Fold up the edges of the opening by half an inch or so and sew them together (this will form a kind of collar). Leave about an inch unstitched on each side so that you can tie a string around your child’s neck to hold it up when they wear it.

5. For one sleeve, cut out a rectangular piece of fabric (the length will depend on your child’s height). The width should be equal to half your child’s arm measurement plus an inch or so extra allowance for sewing (you will need to fold over and stitch up both sides). Sew up both sides, leaving about one and a half inches open at
