Sweatshirt hoodies are often used for homemade costumes too.

Since many are plain, affordable, and easy to customize, making a dinosaur costume with a hoodie is a great idea.

First, prepare a hoodie in a color similar to your dinosaur, then create jagged plates running from the hood down the back using fabric or construction paper.

While it’s not as sturdy as sewing, if you make the jagged back plates out of construction paper and attach them with double-sided tape, you can later remove them and wear the hoodie as normal.
