How to Make a Ninja Outfit

A quick and easy ninja outfit can really come in handy for Halloween or other costume occasions, especially if you want to avoid having to socialize with a bunch of people and would rather use your stealth to dart back and forth between the punch and the cookies. All you need to make a basic ninja outfit is a few shirts of the same color.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Pair of pants and long-sleeved shirt of the same solid color
• 4 or 6 t-shirts of the same color or an accent color

1. Choose a color scheme for your ninja. All ninjas don't have to be black-you can be a white ninja, a red ninja or any other color, or use black as a base color and use T-shirts of another color to create an accent.

2. Dress in long pants and a long-sleeved T-shirt for your base layer. Take one of your T-shirts and fold it up repeatedly until it forms a strip of fabric about 4 to 6 inches wide. Wrap this around your waist as a belt and tie it behind you, tying the sleeves if necessary.

3. Take a shirt and put it over your head as if you are going to wear it, but stop when the neck hole is above your head. Place the neck hole in front of your eyes and tie the sleeves tightly behind your head.

4. Roll up 2 more shirts like you did for a belt and tie them behind your knees as knee pads, or on your shins as shin guards, depending on your personal preference. Repeat for elbows if desired.

5. Create ninja weapons like origami throwing stars or a ninja sword or knife made by covering a yard stick or ruler in tin foil.

6. Wear solid black shoes or basic, unmarked sandals to make sure that your feet don't draw too much attention.
