Native American-style Costume for Babies

Difficulty: Average

Parental supervision is recommended

Celebrate an ancient heritage at Halloween with this Native American-style infant costume.

What you'll need:

  • Scissors
  • Bathrobe, size 3 Toddler
  • Fleece
  • 2 Feathers
  • Hot glue gun
  • Baby shoes
  • Sewing machine and matching thread

How to make it:

  1. Cut the sleeves of the bathrobe to come to the child's elbow.
  2. Cut a piece of fleece about four inches long to fit around the bottom of the sleeve.
  3. Sew fleece on using a straight stitch.
  4. Cut the fleece from the bottom up toward the stitching to create fringe (no sewing necessary).
  5. Repeat above steps for other sleeve.
  6. Cut the bathrobe off at the child's knees.
  7. Cut a piece of fleece about six inches long to fit around the bottom of the bathrobe.
  8. Sew the fleece on using a straight stitch.
  9. Cut the fleece from the bottom up toward the stitching to create fringe (no sewing necessary).
  10. Cut a strip of fleece about four inches wide and long enough to use as a tie around the waist (with the ends falling to about knee height).
  11. Cut a strip of fleece about two inches wide and long enough to use as a tie around the head.
  12. Add two feathers to the headband with the hot glue.
  13. Cover a pair of baby shoes with the fleece by tracing it onto the fabric. I made the fabric taller so I could fringe with scissors and fold down to look like a moccasin.
