How to Make Your Own Mascot Costume on a Budget
Creating a mascot costume on a budget can be an exciting project. Begin by gathering materials from home, such as old clothing and fabric scraps. Choose durable, breathable fabrics like upholstery or heavy-duty cotton. Sketch your design focusing on simplicity and functionality. Construct the headpiece with cardboard and fabric, ensuring visibility and comfort. Use stuffing for the body shape, sew or glue the fabric in place, and add personality with felt, paint, or markers. Test for comfort and mobility, and consider simple DIY accessories to enhance the look without overspending. This approach ensures a memorable, cost-effective mascot costume for any event.
