JumpyTheFrog Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well, I decided making a Dalek costume would take too long. My boys and I are going to be angry birds instead. I found a great website with directions for making them. How to Make Angry Birds Costumes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Super cute!! Dh and dd LOVE Angry Birds. If I didn't already have costumes for them, I would be doing those. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<3myKids Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I came across this tutorial as well, after looking into how much the costumes are going for ($50+ yikes!) Anyhow, she did a wonderful job with the tutorial and I am halfway done with the black bird for my DS :). I am also making the red one for my DD. I used felt and spent less than $14 for all the materials. I love a good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 My kids will love these. I've tried finding angry bird costumes here, but nobody has even gotten them in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perogi Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Wow! Dh would love those! I'd better not show him this lest he start to think he should've married a woman who can sew! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here's a photo of the three Angry Birds costumes I made using the tutorial I linked to in my first post. The red one is adult sized, the black is about a size 5, and the yellow one is a size 2T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Wow! They look amazing! I really wanted one of these after you posted. Maybe if I start now, I can have one for next year. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 It took me about 10-12 hours to make the three. The red one took the longest because it was the biggest and because I was still trying to understand all the directions. There are a few steps that weren't as clear as they could be. The total cost (bought everything at JoAnn) was about $50. It could've been less, but I would up buying too much extra fabric. I could probably make them again for $40-50. You'll want a hot glue gun to glue the features on. I used up all my time sewing, so we didn't carve pumpkins or do anything else. I don't really like sewing, but I am very happy with how these turned out. I'll be excited to make something new next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
