Children’s costumes for recitals that make you want to imitate them (41–50)
Simple rubber pants

If you remember how to make basic pants, it’s super handy—you can add decorations or a tail and adapt them into all kinds of costumes.
Measure directly by holding the fabric up to your child’s body and cut it to the right size.
Fold the fabric in half, draw the crotch curve directly, and cut; then simply sew the pieces together in order.
Finish by threading elastic through the waistband.
Give it a try with your favorite fabric when you can’t find store-bought pants that match your child’s role or costume image.
Cure Yell

Cure Yell, a character from the anime HUGtto! Precure.
As the “Precure of Energy,” her outfit is super colorful! A prim and proper costume would be boring—this one’s perfect for you.
Make it by hand and delight your child!
In conclusion
A variety of costume ideas have appeared! They’re all things you can make using everyday scrap materials or items from the dollar store, so be sure to choose and create a costume that fits your scene.
It might be hard work to make, but being able to pick your favorite colors and decorate freely is one of the charms of handmade items.
It would be great if you can also enjoy the process by incorporating your child’s ideas as you make it together.
