🛠️ Step by step to create your dinosaur costume
Design your dinosaur
Before cutting, think about the type of dinosaur you want to make. You can draw your own design or follow our model. If you need more time, pause the video and continue at your own pace!
Draw the pieces on the cardboard
With a pencil, draw all the parts of the head: the base, the jaw and details such as teeth and eyes.
Carefully cut
Use the scissors for the simplest parts and the box cutter for the most precise cuts. If you are small, ask an adult for help.
Glue the structure
Using hot melt glue, join all the pieces of the head together. Press well and let it dry for a few minutes.
Add color!
We have used sprays for a more realistic finish, but you can use acrylic paints, markers or whatever you prefer. Give your costume personality!
Final touches
Add Velcro to make the costume easy to put on and take off. You can also use the string for more detail or to hold the design in place.
Finished costume!
Your dinosaur costume is ready! 🦖 Now all that’s left is to roar loudly and have a great time.
