DIY Halloween Costume: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

You will need:
  • a TMNT shirt
  • tulle (amount depends on length and fullness.Color of your character)
  • elastic
  • a safety pin
  • black yoga pants
  • felt (also the same color of tulle and length based off your head size)
  • shoes
 Here is how to do it:

For the tutu:
  1. Measure the elastic around your waist and secure the ends with a safety pin. If you want, you can sew it together. I'm just lazy like that.
  2. Depending on how much tulle you will use, measure the length you want the tulle to be and double it. Cut as many pieces you will need.
  3. Now fold it in half and place the loop in the inside and take the ends over the elastic part and through the loop to create knot.
  4. Continue until desired fullness.
For the mask (optional: you can also just use a colored headband):
  1. Trace your felt by drawing two ovals where you want your eyes to be.
  2. Now, trace around the circles. It should look kind of like an infinity.
  3. Draw two lines on each side of it. This is how you will tie on your head.
  4. Cut it out. 
Now put it all together! This costume is super cute and easy to make, you should finish in no time. Comment down below your favorite ninja! (Mine is Mikey!) AND, for more costume ideas, check out DIY Halloween Costumes.
