Unleash Fun: Create Your Own Stegosaurus Costume!

Gather Your Materials

To kick off your Stegosaurus costume project, you’ll need the following materials:

• Green or brown t-shirt
• Green or brown pants or leggings
• Felt sheets (various colors, including green, yellow, and orange)
• Fabric glue or hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Headband or cap
• Cardboard (for added structure)

Design Your Costume

Before you start assembling, take time to visualize your Stegosaurus costume:

1. Sketch a design on paper, showing where the spikes and scales will go on the shirt and pants.
2. Decide on the size and shape of the dorsal plates that will sit on your back.

Create the Plates

Let’s start crafting those iconic back plates:

1. Cut large triangle shapes out of cardboard or stiff felt for the Stegosaurus plates.
2. Use green, yellow, and orange felt to cover the plates, gluing them securely.
3. Each triangular plate can be trimmed to different sizes for a more realistic appearance.

Attach the Plates

Now that your plates are ready, it's time to attach them:

1. Measure and mark where you want the plates to sit on your back.
2. Use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach the plates to the back of your t-shirt.
3. For added stability, consider sewing the plates on if you want a more lasting hold.

Create the Tail

No Stegosaurus costume is complete without a tail!

1. Take a long piece of felt and cut it into a ‘V’ shape for the tail.
2. Attach smaller triangle plates to the tail, similar to how you attached them to your shirt.
3. Use a safety pin or fabric glue to secure the tail to the back of your pants.

Make the Headpiece

The final touch: the headpiece!

1. Take a headband or cap as a base.
2. Cut out small triangle felt pieces and glue them onto the headband, mimicking the Stegosaurus spikes.
3. Ensure it's secure and fits comfortably.

Final Touches

Now it’s time to add some personal flair!

• Consider adding face paint to enhance the dinosaur look.
• Wear green or yellow shoes to complete the ensemble.
• Practice your dinosaur walk to really embody your costume!
