How to make a Skittles costume
The base is simply a red shirt and a red pair of pants (sweats are great if you’re going to be out Trick or Treating and it will be cold.
Next you need a bunch of colored circles. Colors needed are Red, Green, Orange, Yellow and Purple. You can use felt, but that’s a lot of hand-cutting circles that won’t turn out totally even any way.
If you don’t care about the red shirt and pants, you can use hot glue to stick the circles to the clothes. If you want to use them again, attach a square of felt to the back of each circle with hot glue. Then you can use safety pins to secure the Skittles to the clothes. That’s what we did, and he had a totally recognizable Skittles costume that cost less than $15.
It’s quick, easy, and the best part? It’s cheap to make. It’s also a fun project your kids will be able to help with.
