We were able to make adorable brown fur ears and a super warm capelet. But then, in the clearance bin at one of our local Fabricland stores, we found this piece of brown faux fur. It took us a little while to find the perfect fur and I almost gave up and ordered some online. Olivia wanted some serious brown fur to create her brown bear look. The crinoline worked beautifully and we all loved how it turned out. Once again, I added pintucks at the bottom of the bubble skirt to add some lift and create more volume. We found this soft crinoline that had a soft hand and a bit of a sheen. Since I used organza for her fox costume skirt, I wanted to use a different fabric this year. So I made this ribbon-trimmed black half circle skirt with a bubble overlay in soft crinoline. Julia loved the organza bubble skirt I made her last year for her fox costume and wanted something similar this year. Here is a look at our DIY Halloween Costumes for Teens… DIY Black Cat Costume for Teens and Tweensįor Julia’s black cat costume we used a gorgeous, super soft faux fur to make cat ears, fingerless gloves to keep her paws warm, leg warmers which we used as boot cuffs, and a black cat tail.
Olivia’s brown bear costume and Sophia’s panda bear costume are also great for girls of all ages.
This year, Julia is a black cat again, but this version we designed to be an easy cat costume for teens. And the year after that, Olivia was a unicorn, Julia was a fox and Sophia was a bunny. The next year, Olivia was a Fall Flower Fairy while we made Julia and Sophia each a deer costume. Three years before we created these teen Halloween costumes, we made cat costumes perfect for younger girls. It can be quite cold here in Vancouver on Halloween, so to keep them warm and cozy in their fancy attire, I once again made faux fur shawls or capelets to finish off their outfits. Our girls wanted these costumes to be pretty and animal-themed. I think it may be my favourite time of year.Īs girls get older and turn into tweens and teens, it can be hard to keep their Halloween costumes warm while also looking pretty enough for attending Halloween parties. I have so much fun with the girls this time of year, sketching out their costume designs concepts, scouring the local fabric stores for the perfect materials, sewing the costumes, and having our annual costume photo shoot. I love the excuse to get creative and make Halloween costumes for girls. My daughter, Olivia, and my nieces, Julia and Sophia are so obsessed with their DIY Halloween costumes, that before they have even finished trick or treating they are already discussing their ideas for next year’s Halloween costumes.īut I don’t mind.
