    Innovative Approach To A Jester Costume Creates A Unique Inexpensive Costume

    If you are looking for a bright, colorful costume for your son or daughter, that is easy to make and affordable, than the jester costumer is the one for you.

    The Jester's Hat Is A Fundamental Part Of The Overall Jester Costume

    The most important part of the jester costume is the jester's hat, known for its oddball shape and bells upon it. A wonderful and quick way to make a jesters hat is to use 12 x 18 inch pieces of EZ felt in contrasting colors, black and white, red and blue, green and purple, whatever color combination that your child likes. Buy contrasting colored cloth pom-poms or jingle bells in silver or gold. Remember that a jester's costume should be very bright and colorful or done in stark contrasts, the idea is that the jester's costume will make a visual statement in color and geometric shapes.

    Measure your child's head and add one inch to the total measurement. When this is done, divide by 2 and cut one piece of the EZ felt in each color to match the measurement. Blue the felt pieces together along the inside of the hat, fit the hat to your child's head and glue the second side, making sure to glue both sides on the inside of the hat. When the hat had dried, cut triangles around the top and glue pom-pom or sew jingle bells to each of the triangle points at the top of the hat.

    The Body Portion Of The Jester Costume Must Be Color, Bright and Geometric

    Geometric shapes can be cut from felt making extended diamond shapes that are then sew together in a color kaleidoscope of colors. This colorful diamonds can be sewn in a multiple layer to add dimension while offsetting them to form a continual collar.

    Once the collar is complete, sew tiny jingle bells to the end of the diamonds and at the points that the top layer meet; this will assist in holding the triangles down against the body and will make tiny tinkling sounds as your child walks. This collar can be tacked down to a colorful sweatshirt that can then be used as the base of the costume.

    If the sweatshirt is long enough, use it as a dress for your child, adding colorful tights like the type with the different colored bands going up and down the leg in alternating colors.

    No jester costume is complete without a jester's wand. Take long lengths of colorful ribbon and sew or tie tiny jingle bells to one end; glue or tie the other ends of the ribbons to a colorfully painted dowel. Glue a colorfully painted wooden ball to the end of the dowel to finish the look.
