Easy and cute with 100-yen shop items! Handmade Christmas costume ideas for kids (1–10)
Christmas tree one-piece dress

Here’s how to make a kids’ Christmas tree costume using materials from a 100-yen shop! The materials are felt, Christmas decoration balls, a camisole, wood glue, thread, buttons or adhesive hook-and-loop fasteners, and elastic cord.
First, trace a pattern to fit your child’s clothing.
Cut the felt into three tiers shaped like a tree, about 70 cm wide, and sew them with a sewing machine.
Gather each tier, thread elastic through them, and place the camisole inside to form the tree shape.
Next, make the tree hat out of felt.
Size it to your child’s head and attach a star ornament at the top.
Finally, use wood glue to attach the Christmas decorations to the outfit and hat, and you’re done! Fasten the outfit with adhesive hook-and-loop or buttons—choose options that won’t cause injuries for your child.

Let’s make a cute Christmas outfit for your baby using items from the 100-yen shop! You’ll need a toddler-sized Santa outfit, thread, a needle, hook-and-loop adhesive tape, and a tailor’s chalk pen.
First, turn the hat inside out and sew it to fit your baby’s head.
Next, turn the clothing inside out, cut it to match your baby’s romper, and sew it.
Cut the skirt portion into a pants shape.
Turn everything right side out.
Make a slit on the back and attach the hook-and-loop tape, and you’re done! You can finish it in about an hour, so give it a try.
It’s super cute!
Felt Santa dress

If you use large felt sheets from the 100-yen shop, you can make a child-sized Santa dress! Start with a sleeveless dress as the base and attach the sleeves afterward.
It’s best to sew on the Santa belt and neckline decorations to the front bodice in advance.
You can freely customize it—sleeves or no sleeves, shorter sleeves, and so on—to suit your child’s size and preferences.
Felt is easy to work with but doesn’t stretch, so it might not be the most comfortable to wear.
Still, it’ll look undeniably cute as a handmade Christmas costume for kids, so give it a try!

Easy Christmas Cape

Here’s a Christmas cape you can easily make with 100-yen store items! It’s perfect for kids to dress up.
First, fold a square-cut piece of felt in half, round off the corners, and also round the neck area while it’s folded.
Next, sew the shoulder area on a diagonal, then cut straight down the center of only the top overlapping layer, and round the hem.
Attach a snap at the neckline, decorate with ribbons or pom-poms, and you’re done! Adjust the size to fit your child’s body.
Just put it on and you’re all set! Christmas costume

I’ll show you how to make a Frappuccino costume! You’ll need one sheet of white felt, one sheet of colored felt in your favorite color, one 75 cm elastic, and one 20 cm ribbon.
First, make the cream part with the felt.
Cut the white felt lengthwise into quarters.
Next, make the Frappuccino with the colored felt you like.
It’s cute if you use various colors, so I recommend it.
Cut it to fit your child’s size and sew it with a sewing machine.
Sew the cream part as well and attach the elastic.
Once you’ve combined the cream part and the colored felt, sew these together with the machine too.
Finally, sew the ribbon onto the back and secure it so it’s not visible, and you’re done! Try adding your favorite designs like stars or Santa Claus to create your own original costume.
Christmas headband

I’ll show you how to make a Christmas headband using supplies from the dollar store! You’ll need a downloaded template, felt, thick paper (cardboard), fabric glue, a headband, wire, a permanent marker, and cellophane tape.
First, stick the template onto your preferred felt and cut it out.
Attach the cut pieces to a felt base and trim about 1 cm around the outside.
Cut the thick paper to match the shapes you’ve cut.
Next, wrap the wire around the headband about seven times, then wrap it around a pen to make two spring coils.
Finally, glue the felt and thick paper onto the springs with fabric glue—and you’re done! It’s also cute if you make it with your favorite characters.
Christmas cloak

Perfect for Christmas! Here’s how to make a children’s Christmas cape.
Materials: white and red felt, thread, and a cord.
First, mark 10 cm and 60 cm from a corner of the felt, connect the marks with a curve, and cut along the line.
Next, place it on top of the white felt and trace the neckline shape.
Draw your desired collar shape, then stack two layers and cut them out.
Cut the white felt into two pieces, stack the two red felt pieces and sew them together, then attach the white felt along the edge.
Finally, sandwich the cord and sew the collar pieces together to finish! You can also make a Christmas tree cape using green felt.
