There's a lot you can do with typical boy or girls pajamas. Aside from being standard sleepwear, footed pajamas can be turned into costumes. Footed PJs are the perfect clothing to turn into costumes with its solid background color and covering.
It will be easy to accessorize and embellish overalls, footies and body suits. They are also ideal for outdoor wear for young kids because they provide warmth and protection. Other costumes you find at department stores will require the user to wear something else underneath the costumes.
You can use footie PJs as costumes for birthday costume parties or Halloween trick or treating. Footed sleepwear should provide enough warmth during chilly November evenings, especially if you use boy and girls pajamas meant for cold weather. Here are some ideas you can use to turn your child's footed pajamas into costumes.
Red Devil - For boys, you can use a fire red footed PJ with a close fitting cap. Some footies have hoodies and those will work instead of a customized cap. Create 2 horns with some yellow felt paper and attach them on top of the hoodie or cap. It might be a good idea to stuff the horns to make them stand upright.
Fashion a pitchfork from black cloth or buy a plastic toy pitchfork for your child to hold. Paint your child's face with red face paint. Create a tail from red felt paper. Shape an arrow at the end of the tail and attach the other end to the buttocks area of the red footed pajamas.
Lady Bug ? Lady bug costumes are ideal for a girl's Halloween outfit. Use black footed girls pajamas to create a solid background. Your child should wear a short red body suit over the black footies. The red bodysuit will serve as the body of the lady bug. Sew in round black appliqué all over the red bodysuit. Try to find a footie with a black hoodie.
If you can't find one with a hoodie, you can make one in black and sew that into the neckline. Lady bugs have 6 legs, so make an extra pair of black legs and attach those to your child's waist. Your child's legs and arms should be covered in black fabric from the footed garment. Attach 2 antennas on top of the hoodie.
Green Turtle ? Use green footed pajamas and a green stocking cap and green gloves to create a green turtle costume. This will work for either boy or girls pajamas. Fashion a circular brown shell from brown felt paper. Cut smaller circles from a lighter shade of brown felt and attach them around the brown shell. Stitch thread loosely around the outer edge of the big brown shell and then pull the thread tightly to make the shell concave against your child's body. Attach the shell to the backside of the pajamas.
Ninja ? Use plain black footed PJs, a black ski mask or a footie with a back hoodie. Buy a ninja sword at a toy store to accessorize the outfit. Other accessories that can complete the look of a ninja are black gloves and 2 black belts that your child can wear across his chest to form an X. You can secure the plastic toy ninja sword into the belts at the back of your child. Your child's shoes should also be colored black.
You can create many other costumes with boy or girls pajamas. Footed pajamas work best and are the easiest to turn into costumes. You can buy new sleepwear or use old ones that your child will soon outgrow. Always have safety in mind when crafting a costume. Prioritize the wellbeing of your child over aesthetics of the costume.
