Coolest Bowser Homemade Costume

My son, who is six years old, loves Mario. Last year he was Mario, so this year he had to be Bowser. I made this Bowser costume myself.

I was so happy to see that people knew who he was when trick or treating. He enjoyed it also and would give them a big roar and pose in a fighting stance, fist up and ready to go.

The costume really did not take much time to make and I did a lot of it by hand. My son loved helping with the preparation and loved trying on his costume every time I did added something to it. He loves wearing the hat around the house and while playing his video games.

  4. How did you make this?? My son is begging to be Bowser and I have no clue where to start! Can you send me a list of supplies you used or any kind of directions? Or if you found it online, can you direct me where to go to find it myself? I’ve been searching everywhere and haven’t had any luck.

  9. I do not understand why they do not sell bowser costumes for kids! My husband is going as Mario, I am going as Luigi and my daughter as peach. My son is obsessed with dragons and we wanted to make him bowser/baby bowser. I plan on making the costume, but not real sure where to start. Can you help with any instructions? dmwinderweedle@yahoo.com. Thank you so much!

  10. I have been asked to make a bowser jr costume this year for a little boy I babysit. You have definitely have the best one I have seen so far. Could you email me any instructions you might have on how you made the hat.

  11. That is sooo neat! I am not that crafty. When he is done wearing it I would purchase it from you. My son is 5 and he wanted to be Bowser for Halloween and I can’t find a costume anywhere! He said, “Well, maybe next year mom.” Let me know if you want to sell it when your son outgrows it. He would be super excited as he is a huge Mario fan!

  15. Hello,
    What a cool costume. I would like to have a sewing pattern for my son who is 8 years old to make this for the next Halloweenparty.

    Can you tell me if a pattern is for sale in the US?

    Kind regards,

  17. Sorry everyone. I am just seeing this. I can’t believe that it has been 7 years since I made this. I had no pattern though. I just made it by trial and error! Thanks for all the kind comments!
