This year Sam and Max took part in their school play and I had the task of coming up with Skeleton Costumes for them. I told the drama teacher that I’d find some DIY Skeleton Costumes that would be easy to make. As soon as the words came out of my mouth I got nervous. It was a busy time for me, with lots of substitute teaching jobs and other responsibilities I had committed myself to.
I panicked over the task at first, but a simple Google search for “DIY Skeleton Costumes” yielded great results. I found a super simple DIY Skeleton Costume tutorial on Parents.com. I put the costumes together during the Technical rehearsal for the play and they looked super cute in the show! So if you need a simple Halloween costume or a skeleton costume for a school play check out this DIY Skeleton Costume Tutorial! I used self-sticking felt to make the bones for these costumes, and they held up for the play performances, but if there had been more time I would have either sewn around the edges of the bones or used a stronger glue to make the costumes sturdier.
