This fun and easy costume can be put together with items from around the house and will definitely be a show-stopper in any 2023 trick-or-treater’s crowd.

What You Need for Jelly Bean Costumes

To make a jelly bean costume, you’ll need the following items:

• Large sheets of felt or other fabric
• Straws, pipe cleaners, or other craft supplies
• Glue or fabric adhesive
• Scissors
• Ribbon or elastic
• Safety pins

Depending on the size of your child, you may need to purchase more fabric than what is listed above.

Creating the Jelly Bean Costume

The first step in creating a homemade jelly bean costume is to create the jelly bean shape. To do this, you’ll need to cut out two large circles from the fabric of your choice. The circles should be large enough to fit your child’s body, but not so large that it looks disproportionate.

Once you’ve cut out the circles, you’ll need to attach the two circles together. This can be done with either glue or fabric adhesive. Once the circles are attached, you’ll need to add a few strips of fabric to create the jelly bean shape.

Next, you’ll need to cut out strips of fabric to create the straps for the jelly bean costume. The straps should be long enough to fit around your child’s body and secure the jelly bean shape. You can use either glue or safety pins to attach the straps to the jelly bean shape.

Decorating the Jelly Bean Costume

Now that you’ve created the basic shape of the jelly bean costume, it’s time to add some decorations. You can use straws, pipe cleaners, and other craft supplies to create fun designs on the jelly bean costume. For example, you can add swirls, stripes, and polka dots to give the costume some personality.

Finishing Touches

Once the decorations are complete, you’ll need to add the finishing touches. You can use ribbon or elastic to create a belt for the jelly bean costume, and you can use safety pins to create a closure for the back. You can also add a hat or headband to complete the look.

And that’s it! Your homemade jelly bean costume is now ready to be worn. With a few simple supplies and a bit of creativity, you can create a unique and memorable costume that your child will love.
