I’ve never been one that really gets into making Halloween costumes. One year, my little boy wanted to be a skeleton, so we bought him some black sweats and I used freezer paper to stencil the bones. He love that costume, and I was glad he did. But creating costumes isn’t something that I get overly excited about. My boys always seem to be thinking of the costumes that they’d like for a month or two before Halloween. Last year, my 10 year old really wanted to be a Werewolf. I started looking at buying a costume, and then I started looking at creating my own. It was actually REALLY easy to put this DIY Werewolf Halloween Costume together. It didn’t take much time at all, and it was no-sew!

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought some fake fur and gray felt as well as Fabri-Tac. I found a pair of pants that was somewhat worn, and a pair we didn’t really use anymore, but still fit my son. I cut random pieces of fake fur and then used the Fabri-Tac to attach them to the pants.
On the back, I created a tail. I didn’t sew this either. I rolled up some extra fur inside of itself. Then just glued it shut, then glued it to the back of the pants.
I used a cheap pair of gloves that I cut the fingers off of and glued some fur to them as well.
For the ears, I hand cut some gray felt into ear shapes. I cut a popsicle stick in half and then cut fur to fit the back of the ear. I sandwiched the popsicle stick inside of the ears. Then I used some elastic and sewed the ears to it, creating a headband. You could totally make this headband without sewing though.
This is what the back of the ears look like.
I did buy the shirt for the costume from Wal-mart, but for this costume, you could use almost any shirt.
We put product in my sons hair to make it stand up, and then used face paint/makeup to make him look like a Werewolf.
I actually really loved seeing this costume come together. It was so easy that I thought I’d share it here, just in case anyone else was looking for an easy DIY Werewolf Halloween Costume for one of their kids this year.
