Creative Accessories for Each Costume, Diy winnie the pooh character costumes

A well-chosen accessory can elevate a costume from simple to spectacular. The following accessories will add personality and authenticity to your Winnie the Pooh character costumes.

• Pooh Bear: A small, felt honey pot filled with yellow stuffing (to mimic honey). This can be attached to a small strap and worn around the neck or attached to the costume itself. A simple red ribbon tied around the pot adds a finishing touch.
• Piglet: A miniature, handmade umbrella. Use a small, brightly colored piece of fabric and a thin wooden dowel or stick. Secure the fabric to the dowel with glue and thread. A tiny, pink ribbon can be added as a decorative element.
• Tigger: A bouncy tail! Construct this from a long piece of orange felt, stuffing it firmly to create a springy effect. Attach the tail securely to the back of the costume with strong thread or velcro.
• Eeyore: A drooping, grey felt tail. Create a slightly elongated, tear-drop shape and attach it to the back of the costume. Adding a few strategically placed, darker grey stitches can give it a worn and weary appearance, fitting for Eeyore’s personality.
• Rabbit: A miniature carrot prop. Carve a small carrot from orange felt or craft foam and attach it to a small stick. The carrot can be attached to the costume or held by the wearer.

Adding Embroidery Details

Simple embroidery can add significant detail and character to your costumes. Using embroidery floss in coordinating colors, you can add subtle but impactful features.

For example, Pooh’s eyes can be created using simple French knots in black embroidery floss. Piglet’s nose can be embroidered using a small, pink satin stitch. For Tigger’s stripes, use simple straight stitches in orange and black embroidery floss. Remember to use a running stitch to Artikel any shapes before filling them in with more detailed stitches.
