Kintaro Made with Felt

First Halloween as ‘Kintarō’!? How the teachers reacted when we went to daycare in costume [Age 1]

Let’s make a costume of the very strong Kintaro.

You can make it with felt and string! When you think of Kintaro, you picture his distinctive apron-like outfit, right? We’ll make this apron out of red felt.

Place a red square of felt so that a corner points upward, and sew a piece of felt cut into a rectangle about 5 cm long onto the very top corner.

Once that’s done, you’ll attach a string around the neck for adjustment, so please sew on the string as well.

Next, to tie a string at the back around the waist, sew strings onto the left and right corners, too.

Finally, cut out the gold character and circle from felt, and attach them in the center of the costume with fabric adhesive to finish.

If you make a toy axe as a prop, it’ll look even more like an authentic Kintaro!

Easy Costumes with Colored Plastic Bags – Perfect for Halloween, Recitals, and School Plays!

We’ll show you how to make a cute costume using colored plastic bags.

Prepare colored plastic bags, vinyl tape, and glitter tape.

Cut the bag into top and bottom pieces; for the top, it’s best to use a child’s everyday clothing as a reference to get the sizing right.

For the skirt portion, the key is to stretch the vinyl tape as you attach it so it creates gathers.

Once both the top and bottom are finished, stick them together, then decorate the collar with origami paper.

Your adorable Halloween costume is complete!
