Do It Yourself Peacock Halloween Costume

This Halloween, bring something new and vibrant to your costume creation. Decide to stand apart and make a peacock Halloween costume. While store-bought versions may be available, crafting one at home can be an enjoyable craft project as long as you’re prepared.

If you’re ready to make your own peacock Halloween costume, start by gathering the right materials. The base of your costume will likely be a leotard or a unitard so it’s important to find a color that will work well like dark blue or deep teal. You can then use tulle fabric and various colors of feathers to create the body and tail of the bird. Copper, purple, and turquoise feathers would work best, but you can get whatever colors you want for the costume to be noticed at the party.

Once you have the materials and the base prepared, it’s time to start crafting. For the body of your peacock costume, start by cutting the tulle fabric into teardrop shapes, sew them together and then attach them to your base. As for the feathers themselves, you should use individual pieces of fabric to secure them to the base and the tulle of the costume. The feathers should be secure so they don’t come off throughout the night.

Finally, complete the look of your peacock costume with a headpiece. You can create this by cutting the remaining fabric into a diamond and secure it to a headband or use one that already exists and attach fabric and feathers to it. The key is to maintain the vibrant colors of your costume and keep the headpiece feeling light on your head.

If you’ve allowed ample time for crafting, your DIY peacock costume should be ready with days to spare and you can proudly strut your way into the Halloween party. With the right materials and creative flair, making your own peacock costume is a manageable and enjoyable project. Nothing says Halloween like a vibrant peacock to catch all the stares.
