Easy! Costume ideas made with colored plastic bags
At kindergarten and school events where children perform plays, dances, and songs, many kids and parents look forward to wearing wonderful costumes.
But sewing costumes completely from scratch can be a real challenge! So this time, we’re introducing costume ideas made from colored plastic bags.
Colored plastic bags come in a wide variety of colors, pair well with colored tape and ribbons, and are easy to shape just by cutting with scissors and sticking together with clear tape.
They’re also more cost-effective than fabric, which is a nice bonus.
Even if you’re not good at sewing, you can make adorable costumes easily by making the most of the shape of the bags.
Give it a try and create costumes that are perfect for the children.

Easy! Costume Ideas Made with Colored Poly Bags (21–30)
Ninja mask and costume
Let’s make a ninja dress-up set! Here are ideas for a ninja mask and costume.
Some classes might even choose a ninja theme for their sports day events, right? These mask and costume ideas are perfect for that.
You’ll need newspaper, colored plastic bags, origami paper, glue, holographic tape, and scissors.
Fold the newspaper to make the mask, and try decorating it with origami paper or paint! Make the costume with colored plastic bags, and add holographic tape to make it pop.
strawberry
This costume is themed around strawberries with red fruit.
First, insert a red plastic bag into a green plastic bag and attach them with double-sided tape.
Next, stick another green plastic bag over the top, then turn the bag inside out.
Fix an elastic band, cut into two equal lengths, around the edge of the bag.
Pull the elastic to gather the opening, tie a tight knot, and trim off any excess.
Cut openings for the sleeves with scissors, then attach strawberry patterns made from construction paper, and you’re done! The soft, fluffy material makes this a great costume idea that suits active scenes like sports day.
Nezuko’s costume
Recommended for kids who love cute things! Here are some ideas for Demon Slayer costumes.
How about trying to make outfits worn by characters from the smash-hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba? These could also be helpful when your sports day performance includes a Japanese touch.
What you’ll need: scissors, duct tape, clear tape, and colored plastic bags in purple, white, red, pink, orange, and green.
Some parts are a bit intricate, but the steps are simple—give it a try!
Pineapple
A costume I recommend for a sports day where kids try various events is a pineapple.
Let’s make a bright yellow outfit consisting of a hat and a skirt! Cut a yellow plastic color bag to create each part.
You can make a pineapple-style skirt or a cute frilly skirt.
Decorate the pineapple hat with colored tape and felt fabric, then thread elastic through the waist and the head to finish.
Try making this outfit for sports day so kids can move their arms and legs freely.
In conclusion
We introduced costume ideas made from colored plastic bags.
When performing choruses or dances in matching outfits, it’s best to have something easy to make and suitable for producing in large quantities.
Don’t forget to adjust the size for each child and reinforce areas that might tear easily! If you make them easy for kids to put on and take off by themselves, you’ll have more leeway on the day of the recital.
Many children will likely have sparkling eyes and get excited when they see the finished costumes.
Please put these ideas to use for recitals and class presentations, and enjoy a fun time with the children.
