How to Make a Star Wars Ewok Costume

Ewoks are the creation of George Lucas for the Star Wars franchise.

Ewoks are the cute, furry creatures who made their first appearance in "Star Wars VI: The Return of the Jedi." In the movie, Ewoks were fierce and courageous fighters despite their adorable exterior. In real life, Ewoks make a perfect costume for children on Halloween or other special occasions. An Ewok costume can be created fairly simply using an old costume that you will add a few modifications to.

Things You'll Need

• Old furry costume
• Piece of loose brown leather or fabric
• Scissors
• Black thread for sewing
• Sewing Needle

Instructions

1. Find an old furry costume, either at your local costume shop, or laying around the house. A teddy bear costume would be perfect, but it must be light brown and with lots of fur on it.

2. Prop the ears up on the costume. You may wish to sew the outside of the ears to the top of the head on the costume so that they stick straight up in the air. Use your scissors to trim away any excess material.

3. Take your loose piece of leather or fabric and shroud it over the top of the costume. This is what the Ewoks wear as clothing. The fabric should hang down to about the mid-section of the costume. Use your scissors to cut holes in the top to poke the ears through.

4. Sew the shroud to the costume so that it does not fall off. You do not have to sew everywhere, just at the top and bottom so that it is secure.

5. Add accessories to the costume. You can use a small walking stick or spear. This will make your Ewok costume look all the more fierce.
