My 5 year old LOVES dinosaurs! I was really worried when he decided that he’d be a Triceratops for Halloween. I was not quite sure how I would pull off a dinosaur kid homemade costume. After digging for some thick jersey for the body and velvet for the horns, I realized that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad after all.
The velvet made the horns and the “hood” is really easy to stand up off of his head. I used a little piece of clothes hanger to stiffen and shape the hood. The horns are stuffed with fiberfill and hand sewn. The tail was a little trickier to get to work right. The weight of it made the body suit hang a little funny. He still has this costume in his closet and puts it on every once in a while.
cute, & adorable.
