Easy No Sew Koala Halloween Costume From A Hooded Sweatshirt

Project time15 minutes
Author: Crystal

Equipment

  • Grey Hooded Sweatshirt
  • Template or SVG File
  • Felt (We used grey, pink, black and white)
  • Scissors or Electronic Cutting Machine

Instructions

  • Use our SVG file or template to cut each piece of the koala face out of felt. We used our Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cricut Rotary Blade to cut the felt. While you are cutting your felt heat up your glue gun.
  • Once your glue gun is heated apply each of the felt pieces to the hood of your hooded sweatshirt. I start with the nose, making sure it's aligned in the middle. Then I add the black parts of the eyes, then the white dots to the eyes.
  • Next glue the koala's ears. I first glue the pink center of the ears to the larger grey part of the ears. Then I attach each ear to the hooded sweatshirt. I like to do this very carefully while someone is wearing the sweatshirt to get proper placement. This should only be done by an adult. Position the ear where you would like it and glue the grey rectangular tab to the top of the hood.
  • Next, curl each side of the ear, near the bottom, and glue it to the hood. Repeat with the second ear.
  • Let the glue cool and then your costume is ready to wear!
  • I originally created my "No Sew Hoodie Costumes" as "one day wear" Halloween costumes, however my kids have now been wearing them regularly for over two years and they have held up great! Wash the hooded sweatshirt on a delicate cycle and keep an eye out for any areas where the hot glue is starting to lift. Re-glue as necessary. Happy Halloween!
