[Wrist Accessories / Costumes] Handmade Outfit Ideas for Sports Day

Peter Pan

Many kindergartens and nursery schools choose Peter Pan as the theme for plays and dances.

It’s a story with fantasy elements, and everything about Peter Pan and Tinker Bell is adorable—everyone looks cute! But making the costumes can be a challenge.

When you think of a Peter Pan costume, it has to include that green pointed hat with a feather and the light green top with jagged hems.

It seems like you could make it easily with a large piece of felt, right? Then just add a toy sword at the waist and you’re all set!

A chiffon scrunchie that looks like a flower

Mercari Fuurin room Handmade Stretch Chiffon Tulle Lace Scrunchie

Fluffy chiffon fabric is perfect for creating a feminine look! Just incorporating it as a small accessory for a sports day dance routine will instantly add a touch of glamour.

How about a bracelet made by tying lots of long, thin strips of chiffon to a hair elastic? It’s simple to make, so anyone can try it, and the ability to enjoy different designs by changing color combinations is part of the charm! Try making them to match the mood of the performance—warm tones, cool tones, or monochrome, whatever suits best.

Hawaiian skirt

Perfect for school plays and recitals! Let’s make a handmade aloha skirt.

Hula and Hawaiian dances performed by little kids are so cute, aren’t they? Those adorable Hawaiian skirts can actually be easily handmade using everyday materials.

If you use colorful nylon PE tape, you can whip one up in no time.

It’s the same tape used to make pom-poms for sports day cheering and cheerleading.

There are so many colors that it’s hard to choose (lol).

The price is reasonable too, so it’s one costume I highly recommend.

[How to Make a Kids’ Hairband] Only 3 Seams ☆ No Pattern Needed! Hairband

People often say that style shows from the feet up.

Once you’ve decided on your main outfit, it’s worth paying attention to socks and hair accessories, too.

Here’s a simple “headband” you can make easily.

Try creating a lovely headband to match your outfit’s colors or your team colors.

The basic process is like making a sash.

Thread elastic through that sash and you’ve basically got it.

Have fun with different decorations, like making the whole thing ruched or stitching in individual names.

It’s best to shape the bow knot so it won’t come undone and sew it in place.

Let’s make a wrist bouquet at home [A Little Detour: Yamagata Toyota]

Do you know what a wrist bouquet is? It’s something a bride wears at her wedding—literally a bouquet worn on the wrist.

It’s small and cute, yet still has a touch of elegance as a wrist accessory.

Wedding wrist bouquets can be made with fresh or preserved flowers, but if children are going to wear them at a sports day, artificial flowers are a better choice! Also, some artificial flowers come with parts that have holes for threading a ribbon.

If you use those, you can simply thread the ribbon through and tie it, making them easy to create!
