My son is obsessed with
Naruto, so of course we had to do a Naruto Halloween!
Here are the pics of the completed costume and the trunk of my car decorated like the
Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
I bought two yards of orange fabric and a bunch of yellow felt for this project. The leaf village headband was also purchased as kiddo didn't want to take a chance with such an important element of the costume.
I made the pants based on a pair of joggers my son has. The jacket was initially a fail. I tried to create one from scratch based on a hoodie my son had:
I had too much fabric in the front blue shoulder area and my zipper ended up not disconnecting at the bottom...I was so unhappy with it, I picked out all of my stitches to disconnect the blue section from the orange, cut out the zip, and then just sewed what was left to the hoodie I'd tried to mimic. I cut off the hood, added some batting to the collar and it came together! Whew! I added a piece of red felt to the back with the swirl cut out of HTV via my Cricut.
Now let's talk about the hair! I'm actually really proud of how it came out, lol. I used
this doll hair tutorial as inspiration. Mr. Road made a template of my son's head with aluminum foil and duct tape reinforcement. Then I just went to town with hot glue and felt! It came out so cool and really makes the costume.
Here's the only shot I got of him standing in it on actual Halloween. It got a bit rumpled by then, but still held up great.
Thanks for looking!!
