Regardless of whether you are using fabric, decorations, or accessories, you can go very far with a gluegun and reused cardboard. Be inspired to create easy, homemade costumes for the dear little ones.
Hot air balloon pilot.Brown trousers, a brown jumper or jacket and a brown hat along with the goggles which are the cherry on top. The child can wear the goggles but they can also easily be placed on the hat.
Adorable details.You can use regular balloons or one large balloon. Remove the bottom of an old basket, so the child can wear the basket.

Roar.A little lion kan easily appear with the pom pon technique, a bit of cardboard or facepaint and a tail added to the back of the child's trouses with a safety pin.
Pom pons.Cut out two cardboard templates with a diameter of approx 10 cm, and with a hole in the middle of approx. 3 cm. Twist yarn around the two gathered templates until it is almost impossible to fit more yarn in the hole. Now, cut the yarn at the sides and cut in between the two templates. Take a shorter piece of yarn and tie a knot around the yarn in between the two templates. Remove the templates carefully, so they can be reused, and now you have the first pom pon. Make nine pom pons.
Lion's ears.Cut two lion's ears and paint with a pink marker or paint inside the ear. By pulling the yarn to the sides you can easily glue the ear on to the pom pons.
Lion's mane.Cut a narrow piece of reused cardboard in a length that fits the child's head and cut a hole to the ribbon in each end. The length can vary from child to child and maybe you have to re-assess how many pom pons you need. Glue the pom pons onto the cardboard and make sure there is one or two pom pons between the ears.
The proud lion.Lead a ribbon through the holes in the mane and it can now be tied on to the child's head. You can make a mask of the same cardboard as the ears. You can also easily glue a litte tassle of yarn from the mane to a strip of fabric and add it on the back of the child's trousers.
In brown clothes, the cilld looks like a real lion and can roar proudly throughout the day.
Playing on the savannah can easily happen in the living room.

Sugar sweet.Why not pretend to be a large, lovely, and festive cake?
Build.The cake is made up of two layers. You need two round boxes. One that fits the child's head, and one that fits around the body. There should be some extra room in the boxes.
Round boxes.Cut the bottom out of the largest box, so the child can wear it around the waist.
Decorate the cake.Cut your own templates or make decorations for the cake with the child. Here, small pom pons and paper balls are used as whipped cream along with design paper and single colour paper. The arcs are easily made by measuring the boxes and then dividing the measurement with the number of arcs you wish to make. Meaure an arc, draw it and use it as a template for more arcs. Repeat this with the white 'garland', and glue these on with a gluegun.

The candle on top of the cake is made just like this Christmas candle. To better secure the candle in the glue, cut a notch in the bottom of the candle and fold this inwards towards the hole in the candle. Glue the candle on top with a glue gun.
Tie a bow.Make a hole with a large needle in the box and lead the ribbon through it to add the ribbon on the bottom part of the cake. Let the ribbons cross on the back, so they do not slide off the shoulders.
Cake topper.If the top of the cake is difficult for the child to secure on their head, you can add elastic bands on each side.
Cakes come in many different shapes and sizes, dear Anna…

… the best cakes are just as lovely on the outside as on the inside, sweet Clara.

Blooming business.With just a few tool, a very special costume can be made.
Little but good.A sweet sunflower only needs a headdress and accessories for the wrists.
You will need.Patchwork fabric, glue gun, ribbon, stem wires, cotton filling, and a green outfit.
Petals.Cut seven or more equally sized petals from patchwork fabric and make the same shapes using stem wires. It can be easiest to fold the stem wire in the middle and then shape the petal.

Cut a long piece of fabric corresponding to the length which can go around the child's head, along with one piece to be tied at the end. Make sure the width of the length is approx. 10 cm. Cut a piece of cotton filling with a width of 5 cm, which is to be laid in the long roll of fabric. Glue the green fabric together around the cotton filling, just as you would sew it together and start adding the petals in the gatherings. The stem wires should go into the long roll of fabric so the petals can stand when the child wears the flowercrown.
The last details.Finish the ends with petals and ribbons. The petals can be glued at the edges to create stability, you can also create the pattern of a petal with the glue gun, which will then peek through the fabric when the entire petal is glued together. Cut a piece of ribbon for the wrists and glue two petals to the middle of each ribbon.

Pretty plant.Let the child wear a green outfit. Tie the flowercrown around the little head and the wrists. The stem wire in the flowercrown can now be shaped as you like.
Be inspired by nature, also when making costumes.

Miaow, miaow.Make small cat ears on an old hair band.
You will need.You can go far with a bit of ribbon, a glue gun, cardboard, markers, and paper.

Warrior princess.Make a long, lovely braid on a hair band with yarn, cardboard, glue, glitter, and gem stones.
Glitter on top.Cut out a tiara from cardboard and make sure the bottom has an extra centimetre, so you can cut a notch and fold this part when it is to be glued on the headband. Decorate the tiara. To create a 3D effect, you can glue on details with the glue gun in the edges as shown on the photo before you add glitter.
