Matador, Bull, & Flamenco Dancer Costume
| Costume type: | Costumes for Kids |
| Category: |
This homemade costume for kids entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Lindsay, the 'Matador, Bull, & Flamenco Dancer' costume creator:
Costumes I made for my three kids. The inspiration came from a pair of castanets we received from grandparents who went to Spain.
Bull: Used a pattern for an animal costume and some trial and error to get the face just right. The eyes are styrofoam balls with thin white fleece glued over them and felt circles glued on for the iris/pupil. Black fake fur glued on top for the brows. The gold nose ring is a shower curtain ring painted gold.
Flamenco dancer: Purchased a red leotard. Altered a pattern for a mermaid costume to make the ruffled skirt. Cut the blonde braid off a Elsa (Frozen) baseball cap and hand stitched it onto a hair comb. Used twist ties and thread to secure the braid into a bun and attach the flower. We sprayed her blonde hair black.
Matador: This took some serious time. Altered a pants and jacket pirate costume pattern, cropping them and making them tighter. Used quick dry fabric glue to attach decorative pieces (I highly recommend it. It's a little tougher to apply because it gets stringy, but it holds stuff immediately in place). The emblems on the front are jewel sticker-like things I painted gold and glued on along with gold trim I cut into sections (after cutting the tassels off of it). I lucked out on the bulk of the decoration on the pants/jacket. It's a thrifted dress I cut up and glued on. I thrifted black girls' flats for the shoes and suspenders to keep the pants up high. The socks are tights.
