He’s going to look so cute running around the neighborhood as Frodo Baggins. There you have it!!! An easy DIY Frodo costume for your child, or yourself. And then I let him play some games on my phone. He was not a fan of going under the dryer.

If you are in a pinch for time you could use a curing iron or flat iron just to get some bend in their hair. I went ahead and rolled his hair with gel and perm rods. Did I mention I’m also a hairdresser? But it’s all worth it to get those little hobbit curls. We started in the summer (we pick our costumes at least 9 months in advance) and honestly it’s been driving my crazy. They really make the costume.Īnd if you need some help to get this Hobbit Hair, I would recommend growing it out. I painted mine green.Īnd you have an adorable little hobbit! But if you are going as Frodo you need to order a ring and pick up a small plastic sword. But to give it that Elven Cloak look you also want to attach a leaf pin. Totally spaced on getting a picture of this! If you have a square, you want two sides stitched together, one side attached to your cloak, and one side open for your face. Attach it to your cloak, matching right sides. You can create a square and cut it on a fold. I then cut out a hood to attach to his cloak. You may even wait to cut your smaller circle after you try it on your child. Luckily felt length is usually longer on the bolt. I measured his height and where I wanted to his cloak to land. Just remember to cut out another smaller half circle where it will go around his neck. To make your cloak (the most expensive part of the costume) you need some felt or wool if you have a bigger budget. The Cloak really makes the costume!!! I wish I would have just ordered these adorable clips, but I lucked out and found a leaf button. I love saving money and it reminds me it’s okay to hoard fabric.

You can use a church shirt or you could check out how to make this shirt yourself by clicking over to my Han Solo Costume from last year’s Return of the Jedi Family Theme. You could actually attach the button properly, but I am making 6 Halloween Costumes and I don’t have time for that. I used an eye and hook to attach them at the top and sewed on buttons for decor. Then attach to the back piece on the sides and on top, leaving the arm holes open. I like to start on the side that will be attached to the back of the vest.

I used Pinking Shears for the back piece to not have to hem the edges.Īttach your two matching pieces to each other and sew them, with right sides together. I then lay those pieces of a single layer of fabric to cut the back of my vest. Then I flip those pieces over, mirrored, and cut another two pieces out.

I use chalk and then cut two pieces for my vest. Frodo has a higher neckline and the bottom is square. I like to grab a shirt from my son to use as a pattern. And Although Hamilton also wears a vest the cut is a little different. You can click over to my DIY Alexander Hamilton Costume to see the instructions. But if not they are easy to make with a little elastic. The little details on this DIY Frodo costume really make it! Okay, enough pictures, on to the tutorial… But I wanted to share this simple costume idea in case any of my readers needed a Halloween Costume idea for their child or baby.Īnd his sword Sting will be perfect for Trick or Treating! I heard Orcs really like Reese’s. Just wait until I post our daughter’s costume!!! No surprise I am running behind on my sewing this year. He loves sharing his love for his favorite books with our kids. My husband is thrilled with our Halloween Theme this year. Right now he his favorite library picks are Pigeon Books and Scaredy Squirrel. And being the youngest of three boys he is always interested in what his older brothers love. And even though we have a long time until he can read this book, let alone watch it, I am glad that he is developing a love for literary characters. He loves wearing his ring and turning “invisible”. He’s smaller for his age and he has a good heart! A little lover for sure! We told him that he is the most important person in the whole series. Whether you think my kids are super cool for wanted to dress up like Lord of the Rings or super nerdy, you will love these pictures. In case you missed our DIY Gollum costume you might want to pop over and take a look. But because Dad likes to show You Tube clips and we have a Lord of the Rings chess set the kids chose Lord of the Rings for our family theme. My oldest has read the book and we are working on watching Fellowship of the Rings with him. Doesn’t he look stinkin’ adorable? My kids LOVE Lord of the Rings even though they have never seen the movie. My son absolutely loves his DIY Frodo costume. This DIY Frodo Costume will make your heart swoon when you see your little hobbit.
