Coolest Homemade Jessie Cowgirl Costume

Well since my son was going to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and since my wife has never been able to take part in dressing up with her boys for Halloween, I made the executive decision that she should be Jessie from the Toy Story franchise. She and I worked together on this homemade Jessie cowgirl costume and it was mostly a combined effort of her sewing skills and my crafty creativity.

The hat is a black Zoro that has about 50 layers of spray paint on it. The white lanyard was weaved around the brim using a nail to make the holes.

The shirt is a men’s dress shirt that was painted with yellow fabric paint and trimmed in red. The buttons are painted baby food lids.

The pants were my wife’s jeans that we added the cow print on to.

The cuffs are fun foam, painted with the same yellow fabric paint and trimmed it the same red thread. We also added white cowboy fringe to the cuffs and pants for extra authenticity.

The wig was handmade by my wife using 2 skeins of bright red yard.

The buckle is made from a blue camping mat that was painted with the fabric paint and then the detailing was free hand drawn using a sharpie.
