How to Make Costumes for Toddlers

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Shelly Cordsen with Expert Village. And we're still working on projects , kid oriented and also where your children can help you. And in this particular one, they could do a little bit of gluing but most of what they're going to do is be your model for this project. I was put in charge of costumes for a church play and they wanted all our toddlers, which are ages two through four to be in our play. And all they had to do is just look really darn cute, no lines. So we came up with angel costumes, this is one, and we're just using it out of a bath towel. So this is our angel. We purchased wings, and of course they each wore a little halo. And they were just, just darling. And what we are going to show you today is to do the Sheppard costume and also a matching hat. The supplies you'll need is a bath towel that's 27in by 52in and that seems to be the perfect size and it about goes to their ankles. You need some trimming. In the angel we used some silver trim and the Sheppard's we used some trim that kind of looks like rope and a braid. Again we'll be using grommets, the grommets and the tool and fabric glue. You can sew your trim on but it just makes it faster to use the glue. Naturally a sewing machine, and then you'll need about a half a yard of fabric to use for the hat. So hang in there and we'll get started."
