How To Train Your Dragon Costume Diy
One of our boys favorite dragon movies and volume series is How to Train Your Dragon! Our oldest wanted to be Hiccup for Halloween simply the costumes on Amazon for Hiccup were expensive and but didn't seem to lucifer the character. Then, I sought out to create our very own DIY Hiccup Costume!
Casey'due south teacher had really encouraged them to wearing apparel similar a book character they take been reading about. He is really into the How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. If your looking for a skillful book serious for your piddling guy, this one is cracking. Casey'south 4th course cousin recommended them to him over the summertime and he is now on book ix.
So here is our DIY Hiccup costume to get with his book. It was very piece of cake to make and very inexpensive. I made the vest and kicking fur using some corse brown felt from the cloth store. Information technology was quick and easy despite the fact that I had to sew the sides of the vest by mitt since my sewing machine wasn't available. The belt was made out of the $1 flake material at the fabric store. I used fe on velcro to secure the belt and the fur effectually the peak of the boots.
Pretty dang cute Hiccup Costume if I say so myself!
He borrowed the boots from his cousin and is wearing his own pair of cargo pants. If you don't have a green shirt you can cut, try the $three rack at Walmart or Target. I just cute a "5" in the cervix and used a simple sideslip stitch to secure the string on the shirt. I reinforced the string using a heat gun. I also cut a slit up the side of the shirt to replicate the real "Hiccup." You can probably find the viking chapeau at the dollar store, but I ordered this 1 on Amazon for a few dollars. I don't actually think Hiccup in armor a lot in the movies and then figured the viking helmet was perfect.
He sort of wants to spray his hair red to match the Hiccup in the book too. We'll see. By the way, that is rain on his shirt… information technology was merely starting to sprinkle when I took this.
You could also have them bring along a toothless doll as part of the costume if yous want them to become into full character.
Hither is the book series that started the fascination with Hiccup. It is really a great little series, specially for boys. I information technology is really piece of cake to become into and I fifty-fifty enjoy listening to him read it aloud.
This serial is recommended for grades three and up, but y'all can outset them every bit early equally outset grade if you have a potent reader (or if you plan to read information technology with your child).
Maybe adjacent year I'll make a Toothless costume for his brother and they can play tricks or treat together.
