Instructions

    • 1

      Decorate Mario's red cap with a circle of white felt. Use the top of a peanut butter jar lid as a circle template.

    • 2

      Create the red M for Mario out of red felt. To make the M symmetrical, fold a small piece of felt in half and only cut one side of the M.

    • 3

      Glue the M to the center of the circle with a hot glue gun. Then, glue the circle onto the center front of the hat.

    • 4

      Cut out a Mario mustache template on a white piece of paper. Place this white template of Mario's mustache onto black felt and cut around it.

    • 5

      Tape the Mario Bros mustache on upper lip using strong duct tape or spirit gum.

    • 6

      Dress up in a red turtleneck shirt, bib overalls, boots and white gloves.

    • 7

      Place finished red baseball cap on head to complete the costume.

Tips & Warnings

  • The bigger the mustache, the better.

  • Mario and Luigi couples costumes can be easily made with a green turtleneck shirt and green cap.
