Homemade Christmas Costumes
Easy Elf and Mrs Claus
Honestly,
the only homemade Christmas costume I have ever made myself, was an Elf costume.
All I did was get some green tights, used a skirt from a Christmas tree and widened the waistline, then pinned around me.
Wore a green turtleneck sweater, and an alternate color vest. Added some Christmas pins on the vest.
I didn't really have an elf hat, I just had my long ponytail with a huge green ribbon in it, and piled on the makeup and blusher.
I saw one lady in a parade dressed up as Mrs Claus, and she was carrying and passing out red and green balloons to the kids.
Other Christmas Costume Ideas
A good standby, is always an angel costume. Years ago when my mom had to go to PTA meetings for Christmas, me and my sisters were always dressed up as angels every year.
Of course my mom did alot of home sewing too. Mostly using satins and lace, and the wings were made of sheer nylon covered wire hangers. How we attached them I do not know. We also had some kind of crown.
Felt is always a great material for Christmas crafts and costumes.
