Fabric selection is very important when making costumes.

Using shimmering chiffon or organza, tulle with sequins, or satin to create feathers will give you a light yet glamorous finish.

Combining them with stiffer materials like vinyl can also create a striking contrast of textures.

If you have a certain fabric image in mind, I recommend searching online.

The more materials you’re familiar with, the better your costumes will turn out.

An idea for costumes with jagged slits in bird feathers.

When making bird costumes, many designs emphasize wings from the back view.

If you want to make a costume constructed from rows of triangular fabric look cooler, adding jagged slits is recommended.

The key point is that it’s easy to make using pinking shears.

This idea can be used for a variety of bird costumes, such as eagles and shoebills.

If you want to incorporate realistic bird feathers into your costume design, be sure to give this a try.

shoebill

The shoebill is famous for being a bird that hardly moves.

How about making a costume that turns you into a shoebill? The main body is made of fleece, but a T-shirt or similar could work as a substitute.

For the wings, simply sew on felt pieces cut into isosceles triangles.

Sew three colors of felt in random order starting from the bottom.

If you’re not good at sewing, fabric glue should work too.

For the head, prepare a baseball cap with a brim and attach a large felt beak to the brim.

We’re going to make a chicken costume here.

Place a knit cap on felt and cut out a piece that’s about the same size.

Do the same for the comb (wattle) part: place the knit cap on the felt and cut it out.

For the legs, use yellow leggings and make chicken feet pieces out of felt to attach to the ends of the leggings.

For the body, attach chicken feathers with a glue gun or similar.

It’s fluffy and cute, but if the kids don’t like it, a white T-shirt for the top should work fine.

It’s easy to make, so give it a try.

Swan costumes that brighten up the recital are wonderful.

Using white, fluffy materials can help express the freedom of spreading wings.

From simple designs with feathers on the back to cute ones with a hood that even portrays the head, there are plenty of ideas.

By using recycled materials, you can make an even more special outfit.

If teachers and children make them together, it will surely become a fun memory.

Choose according to each recital.

It’s sure to be a stage where your child’s individuality shines.
