How to make a DIY Homemade Indiana Jones Costume

Make your own DIY homemade Indiana Jones Costume made from a few common materials you can find in your home or at thrift shops.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Dark brown electrical tape
• black electical tape or felt
• light brown leather belt
• dark brown leather belt
• jeans or kakis
• suede hush puppies or docksiders
• black make up

1. 

   First, to make a homemade Indiana Jones costume that like Humphrey Bogart wore, find an old brown suede fedora hat on line or at a thrift shop.

2. 

   Buy or find a pair of jeans or light Kaki pants like Dockers. Take a thick dark brown belt for the Kaki pants and a brown piece of felt you find at any craft store and fasten it around the belt in a loop form to hold Indiana Jones whip.

3. 

   If you cant find a leather whip or even a costume one, you can make a homemade one by taking a piece of rope and wrapping it with brown electrical tape.

4. 

   Use an old dark brown satchel or purse and remove the handle and tie a thin lighter brown belt to each strap handle to make a DIY Indiana Jones shoulder or army bag.

5. 

   Now just add a black flight jacket, safari shirt, suede deck shoes and black makeup for that scruffy beard look and you have your own homemade DIY Indiana Jones costume!

Tips & Warnings

• Use black and brown electrical tape to create your fedora hat ribbon and to wrap your whip if needed.
• Check army surplus stores or goodwill type thrift shops for pieces of your costume
• If you are looking for a whip also check for a Zorro whip, because Indiana Jones whip was based on that characters.
