Tonya here… Halloween is just around the corner and if you are looking for a last-minute, no sew costume that your kids will love, I’ve got the perfect DIY Halloween Costume for you, a Poop Emoji costume. Thank you to Testors.com for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Poop Emoji Costume

 

My daughter actually requested to be a Poop Emoji last year for Halloween, but somehow I managed to convince her to go with her second choice, which was a unicorn. This year I realized early that she wasn’t going to change her mind, so I set to work making her this Poop Emoji Halloween Costume.

It was actually really easy to make. I’ll show you how…

Supplies For The Poop Emoji Halloween Costume:

Steps For Making The Poop Emoji Halloween Costume:

Step 1: Hold the box up against your child to mark where the shoulders and space for their head should go, and then sketch the basic shape for emoji.

Step 2: Using a box cutter, cut out the shape. With the box being flat this should make a back and front for the costume.

Step 3: Place it over your child’s head to ensure that it can come on and off easily and that it will sit on their shoulders.

As you can see it will not sit flat though if you leave it like this, the front and back will stick out.

This is an easy fix though. Simply cut the shoulder area where the front and back meet, cut a strip of cardboard (which will need to be bent so that it forms over their shoulders), and then hot glue it into place.

Step 4: It’s time to paint.

Spray a couple of coats of Satin Woodland Brown over everything, leaving to dry between coats, and then give it an extra shimmer with a light spray of Shimmer Dark Chocolate.

Step 5: When it is completely dry, you can add the eyes and mouth. I created eyes on the computer, printed them out, and used them as a stencil, then hand-sketched the mouth underneath. You’ll need Testors Craft acrylic paint in white and black.

Step 6: Set the main body aside to dry completely while you make the headband.

Attach each piece of cardboard to the headband with hot glue.

Step 7: Once the body is dry, use hot glue to attach ribbon to each side that can be tied together to keep the sides closed a little and stop them from flying up if it’s a little breezy.

Final Touch: Now all you need are some brown leggings and a brown top (which I found on Amazon) and you have an epic poop emoji costume that’s perfect for trick-or-treating.

  11. I’ve always made my daughter’s costumes up until this year (she says she’s too old for it now). The most time consuming was her mummy costume because I had to shred all the fabric and dye it so it looked old.

  18. We already make the kids’ costumes.
    They are going to be Slendytubbies this year. My favorite was when my oldest son Dash was Edward Scissorhands!

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  58. My son is 2 and last year he dressed up to look just like his dad. I drew a beard/mustache on him with lip liner and they even dressed alike. Thank you for sharing this blog because now I’m super inspired to get more creative this year!

  61. When my oldest son was 4 he dressed up as his favorite character. Mighty Max. Mighty Max was a kid that time traveled and solved mystery’s. I guess it wasn’t a popular cartoon because there were no costumes. But, Mighty Max word blue jeans, a red baseball cap and a white sweatshirt with a big red M on it. So we put a felt M on my son’s white sweatshirt and found a plain red baseball cap (this was the hardest part finding a plain red cap).
    My husband dressed our younger son up as very gruesome vampire with old cloths kinda torn up and face-paint. That was awesome.
    And most recently, we made a red cape for our 14 year old aussie/border collie mix 3 years ago. She loved being super pup and loved her cape so much she hide it. We didn’t find it for over a year after she passed away.

  66. I made my own Halloween costume once when I was a kid…it was a Queen of Hearts card that I drew and colored myself using two pieces of posterboard.

  68. I made so, so many Halloween costumes over the years! They even won a few contests which is always fun for the kids. 😉 Some of them include a jester, skeleton, Superman, knight, Geisha, ninja, flower fairy, angel, devil, zombie, vampire, witch, dinosaur, clown, genie, Captain Jack Sparrow, and more.

  70. I’ve made several over the years. My kids are grown now, but I have many pictures of them in their home made costumes. My favorite was when I made my son Pinocchio complete with a large paper mache whale on a wagon. He even won a first place in our local parade!

  74. My oldest son was The Incredible Hulk one year,I made his costume. My daughter is going to be a little leopard (will make the ears and tail). Your Poop Emoji project is so creative! We have a Poop Emoji hat that lights up that would go great with that costume. Thanks for the gracious giveaway.

  83. i’ve never made one of my kids costumes, but I would if they wanted something different, it would be a blast to do!

  87. I’ve made them, if you can call it that — it was mostly rustling around the house for things that could be repurposed, rather than crafting something from scratch.

  89. That is adorable!! I love how well the paint works, definitely going to try and find some of that. My son made a Minecraft costume out of duct tape one year…that was interesting.

  93. Last year my daughter wanted to be a ghost so I printed out a scary face online and cut it out of felt and hot glued it to a white leotard with a white tutu my cousin had made for her to wear to a wedding as a flower girl. It was perfect!
