Family Group Costumes



EVERY PART OF THESE COSTUMES WERE HAND MADE. THE CHILDREN WANTED TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE MOVIE.
DOROTHY'S DRESS WAS SEWN BY MY MOTHER AND MY DAUGHTER IS WEARING A WIG AND THE SHOES WERE SPRAY PAINTED RED AND GLITTERED. TOTO IS A BLACK STUFFED ANIMAL IN A BASKET. THE TIN MAN WAS BUILT FROM STRONG CARDBOARD, INCLUDING THE AX, THE MASK WAS A CLEAR MASK ORIGINALLY. WE GOT A FUNNEL FROM THE KITCHEN AND SNOW BOOTS FROM HIS CLOSET. EVERYTHING WAS SPRAY PAINTED SILVER, EVEN THE GLOVES HE HAS A HEART AROUND HIS NECK ON A GOLD CORD. THE SCARECROW IS WEARING A SWEATSUIT WITH PATCHES SEWN ON AND HAY ATTACHED. THE GLOVES ARE GARDENING GLOVES THE HAT IS A PIECE OF FELT FORMED. WE CUT A PIECE OF PANTYHOSE FOR THE HOOD AND PAINTED HIS FACE. MY CHILDREN ARE 6, 8, AND 10.

Costume Instructions
THE ONLY HARD PART IS FORMING THE MAIN PART OF THE TIN MAN IN AN OVAL. USE STURDY GLUE AND CLAMP TOGETHER. MAKE SURE THE CHILD'S HEAD FITS THROUGH THE NECK HOLE. THE BOTTOM OF THE OVAL SHOULD BE OPEN FOR EASY ON AND OFF. THE FUNNEL WAS ATTACHED TO THE HOOD WITH VELCRO, SO IT CAME ON AND OFF EASILY. GLUE SILVER STUDS ON COSTUME FOR REALISTIC EFFECT. CUT A PIECE OF THE PANTY HOSE FOR THE HOOD, DOES NOT NEED TO BE PERFECT, AS IT WILL BE SPRAY PAINTED SILVER. WE EVEN SPRAY PAINTED THE BOOTS AND SWEATSUIT AND IT WORKED FINE.

ALL THE STRAW WAS GLUED TO THE CUFFS OF THE SHIRT AND PANTS FOR THE SCARECROW, ALSO TO THE COLLAR. STRAW WAS ALSO GLUED TO THE FELT HAT. WE BOUGHT FELT FOR THE HAT, BUT YOU COULD BUY A REAL HAT. THE PATCHES ON THE PANTS AND SHIRTS CAN BE SEWN OR GLUED. CUT A PIECE OF IVORY PANTYHOSE FOR THE HOOD.

DOROTHY'S DRESS CAN BE SEWN OR BOUGHT. THE SOCKS WERE PURCHASED IN BLUE. ANY PAIR OF SLIP ON SHOES WILL WORK,SPRAY PAINT RED, SPREAD GLUE ALL OVER AND SPRINKLE GLITTER RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT NEED A WIG IF CHILD HAS LONGISH HAIR, TIE BLUE RIBBONS.
TOTO WAS THE EASIEST, BASKET AND DOG. YOU CAN VELCRO THE STUFFED DOG IN BASKET TO HOLD
