My 6 year old son Connor wanted to look like his favorite cartoon character on nickalodean’s Avatar Aang.
His Grandmother made his Avatar Aang costume out of yellow,orange and brown felt, and put cardboard under the collar to make it stiff and stand up. He put on a dark tan sweat shirt underneath, and wore tan pants, and black shoes.
We modeled the costume after the character and an action figure he had, and he already had the flying staff he had received from his birthday, it makes sounds. We shave his head, because he wanted to look authentic, a bald cap will work, and used blue Halloween make-up to paint on the arrow and line across his head to the back of his head, and the arrows on his hands.
We had a lot of fun making this costume, and my son had even more fun wearing it. Everywhere we went, he was followed by children and adults alike saying “theres the Avatar!!” He sure was proud and really became the character. I hope you enjoy this costume and can add to it for your children to enjoy. And Happy Halloween!

I was so surprised that someone would actually shave their head!! But he sure looks like the character. Real cute
This is the coolest homemade Avatar Aang costume I have ever seen!! His grandmother did a very good job. Very brave boy to shave his head for a costume that he loves… He rocks!!! Coolest costume on here yet!
I love the costume and i love Avatar. He’s my fav person on tv. He was brave 2 shave his head. GOOD JOB!
that was really sweet of grandma to make his costume and it was really cool of him to shave his head to be authentic. I’m 13 but who cares I still love that Avatar dude. that’s probably the most authentic looking Avatar costume I’ve ever seen.
My son has been asking me for months to get him an Ang costume. I can’t find one but I think I might make it. You guys did an awesome job. I love it. I keep my son’s hair cut really low anyway so shaving it won’t be a problem. It grows back so quickly. Thanks for the idea.
I wish I could have made this costume a little bigger, he is now 8, and wants to be Ang again!!!
I don’t want to shave his head though this time. I will post photos if we make another Ang.
great job on the costume! my little sister wants to be aang this year and i’m making her costume, one problem she needs it in TWO DAYS! meh i can do it… : ( anyway awesome costume guys!
this is great! nice job! and a great show :)
i love avatar and have been looking foe a costume every where. But now i know how to make one, THX GUYS!!!! and keep battling the fire nation little guy.
I have been looking for a pattern to make one of these. I haven’t found a costume designed after the series, only the movie. My daughter loves the cartoon so much that she wants to be Aang for Halloween this year.
I can sew, but I’m not a seasoned vet, so I can’t design one myself from just looking at the show. Do you have any tips?
My son is six and would love this costume. We’ve been looking online and can’t find anything that doesn’t look cheap. You did a great job with this. Would you consider selling it?
I would love to buy one too! Is grandma making and selling them?
I love this costume idea. I have a friend who just LOVES Avatar: The Last Airbender!
