Christmas Tree Costume Ideas
Whether you plan to dress up like a Christmas tree for a play or a party, you don’t have to dive into your wallet or go to expensive stores to create a costume that’s sure to be a big hit. You may even have some of the supplies to make a Christmas tree outfit in your closet.
The Tree Outfit
Wear green pants and a green shirt. Or wear brown pants, which are most likely easier to find. Brown or tan shoes are suggested. These items you could most likely find in your closet. Even jeans would suffice. Next, get big cotton balls that are sold at any local craft store and attach them to your shirt—a shirt you intend to only use as a costume—with a hot-glue gun. For the top of the tree, stencil a star on yellow or gold poster board, cut it out and glue that onto a plastic crown, also found at art supply stores. Another idea is to take a big gold or yellow ribbon, make sure it is wired, and tie a big bow around your head or on a headband.
The Garland Tree
Get the pine-tree garland at a local craft store, or maybe just from your holiday storage bin. Shape this around your torso and arms. The garland has wires which can make the process easier. However, be careful, as the wires are rough and can hurt; it is suggested to wear a long-sleeve turtleneck. Black or green would work. It’s possible to hang real ornaments on this garland if you wrap the garland well enough around yourself. Use the same steps for the top of the tree as listed in the first idea above.
The Paper Tree
Buy a poster board in green, brown and yellow. Cut the green out to the shape of a giant Christmas tree, or just a giant triangle. Next cut a square out of the brown and glue to the bottom of the tree cut-out to create a stump. Then cut out a star in the yellow and glue on top of the tree. Decorate the tree anyway you please—with charms, glitter, color or stickers. Use your creativity. Then hole-punch the sides of the tree and drape yarn or ribbon through and tie it, so the tree looks like a giant necklace charm. Wear it over your neck. Another option is to create two instead of one, and then thread them together so you can be a Christmas tree in the front and the back.
