Making your own costume for Halloween is not only fun and enjoyable, but will also end up saving you a lot of money, and this is something that everyone can appreciate. One costume in particular that is a lot of fun to make is the starfish costume, and if you are interested in making the starfish costume for yourself, then there are a few items you will need and a few steps that you will have to follow.

The Things Needed For A Starfish Themed Costume

Collect all the materials that you will require to put up a starfish outfit. They all need to be close to you to save you from running to one room and another. Actually, there would only be a few things on the list so you don’t need to worry about anything. The first item that you would need to get is a top or shirt that your child doesn’t want any longer. Create a starfish design on top of it using any writing material.

Make the starfish shape as big as possible. Consume all the of the shirt’s space. You wouldn’t want your child to be mistaken for another see creature, right? If ever you find the starfish too difficult to draw, you can start with a template. Then trace it on the shirt and cut it after you’re done. Don’t forget to sew all the hems to keep the costume intact. Just put additional sparkles, glitters and gems to complete your child’s over all cute starfish look.

Another great way that you can make a starfish costume is much more suited for an adult version of the costume, as you want to use a simple bikini top here, and then get some bright orange or pink fabric, cut it into a starfish shape, hem it, use fabric glue to attach all of the shapes right onto the top, and then decorate it using sequins or glitter.

You can really bring a ton of different ideas to the table for a costume such as this however you do want to make sure of a few things. One, you do not want to have anything hanging off of the outfit that might fall off during the night, and so have everything either properly glued or sewn on.

As well, you do not want to overdo it with the glitter, sparkles, or gems, because this will take away from your overall outfit. Try not to go too many ways either, for instance if you want to use glitter then just stick to glitter and maybe a couple of gems, rather than using a bit of several different things. You want to keep the outfit simple, and yet personalize it, which can be a bit tricky sometimes without going overboard.
