Use a hose or plastic ax to accessorize your fireman costume.

Dressing as a firefighter is common among children. You don't have to buy a costume to make a suitable fireman costume for your child. Fireman costumes can easily be put together with a few things from around the house and an item or two from a costume shop. And making a homemade fireman costume requires very little craft skill.

Things You'll Need

  • White T-shirt
  • Snow or ski pants
  • Snow or ski jacket
  • Suspenders
  • Reflective tape
  • Black boots
  • Fireman hat
  • Plastic ax or hose (optional)

Instructions

    • 1

      Dress your child in a white T-shirt, snow or ski pants and jacket and a pair of suspenders to make the foundation of the fireman's suit. Black or yellow snow gear would be ideal.

    • 2

      Use reflective tape to make the stripes on the jacket and pants. If your child's suit is black, use yellow reflective tape. If your child's suit is yellow, use a brighter yellow or green reflective tape. Put stripes around the chest, biceps, the bottom of the jacket, wrists and ankles.

    • 3

      Dress your child in a pair of solid black boots and pull the pants legs over top the boots.

    • 4

      Accessorize your child's fireman costume with a plastic fireman hat. You can also have your child carry a plastic ax or a hose to accessorize his costume.

Tips & Warnings

  • The suspenders should match the color you chose for his suit.
