Handmade costume ideas recommended for sports day

jinbaori (a traditional Japanese sleeveless battle surcoat worn over armor)

The jinbaori is a sleeveless coat that warlords wore over their armor during the Sengoku period.

How about this stylish garment for your school sports day? It might take a bit of effort, but since it has no sleeves and no buttonholes, it should be easier to make than ordinary clothing.

Prepare a pattern in advance.

Adding bias tape to the front belt and shoulder areas will improve the look! Since it won’t be worn on a daily basis, you can skip the lining.

Using a slightly luxurious fabric with a traditional Japanese pattern as an accent would also be nice.

Witch’s cloak

Witch Costume 🧙‍♀️ #shorts #Handmade #MagicalGirl #Cosplay #Halloween

Have you ever wanted to become a witch? If so, try making a witch’s cloak.

What you’ll need are a large colored trash bag, glitter tape, double-sided tape, and so on.

Layer the colored trash bags and cut the hem into a jagged shape to give it a witch-like look.

Thread elastic through the inside and fasten it with double-sided tape to complete the skirt.

Make the top out of a trash bag as well.

Once the main pieces are done, add decorations with glitter tape.

If you also make a magic wand to carry with it, the witchy vibe will be even stronger.

sailor detachable collar

[Make it in any size!] How to make a sailor detachable collar | I wore it to the Laguna × Demon Slayer event | How to make a sailor collar | Demon Slayer

A sailor-style detachable collar is perfect as a small accent for T-shirts or gym uniforms.

You can make it at home, so why not use it for a sports day outfit? It’s handy to draft the pattern to match your child’s T-shirt or workout clothes.

While hand-sewing is possible, using a sewing machine will make it sturdier, especially considering all the movement on sports day.

You can coordinate the colors with the events, or make the ribbon with patterned fabric—both are great options! If you’re short on time, you can make just the sailor collar or just the ribbon.

Moscato

Let's make a moleskine skirt!

The mole skirt that’s familiar in hula dance.

If you’re going to perform a Hawaiian-style dance at a school sports day, this skirt is a must! You can easily make one by hand using plastic raffia tape (suzuran tape), so give it a try.

First, cut a length of tape to fit your child’s waist and tie a knot at both ends.

For the skirt portion, cut the tape into pieces about 60 cm long and make around 100 strips.

Next, bundle the strips in groups of four and attach each bundle to the waist tape, and you’re done! It also looks great if you use different colors for the waist tape and the skirt strips.

Making it together as a parent–child activity can be lots of fun too.

Even paired with a simple gym uniform, they’ll likely make you look cute.

Let’s try making fairy wings by hand! First, prepare stainless steel wire and create the base of the wings.

Once you’ve shaped it, wrap wire around the center and secure it firmly with pliers.

Next, cut organza fabric into the shape of the wings and attach it with a hot glue gun or adhesive.

You can draw patterns on the wing portions with liquid pearl, and adorning them with beads will make them look beautiful too!
