Green clothingįinding green clothing was the most simple part of the costume. The construction is really simple and the function is fantastic! The tail has gotten a ton of use and I have more tails I plan to make just for play around the house. Hunter’s green dinosaur tail with black spikes came straight from this tutorial on running with scissors.

The mask starts with a construction hat, it is then shaped with cardboard pieces, balloons for the eyes and lots of tape to add more shape. I hadn’t paper mache’d in probably close to 20 years, and it was such fun! I’m seriously thinking about all the things I want to paper mache now. I found a tutorial for this diy paper mache dinosaur mask and knew I had to make it. There were three parts that helped to create Hunter’s costume: the t-rex paper mache mask, the dinosaur tail and green clothing. The next post with be my adorable butterfly girl Zoe! Today I’m going to share Hunter’s t-rex costume and all the parts to it. I’m so happy with how their costumes came together. It was invigorating letting my creative side come out again and actually sewing after a solid 8 month hiatus (hello third baby!). The kids picked out what they wanted to be and I ran with it. This year I made two costumes: a green dinosaur t-rex and an orange butterfly. I love how kids make everything more fun! However, after having kids and getting the joy of making their costumes + watching their excitement for trick or treating has changed how I looked at the holiday. In the past, Halloween really wasn’t a day I was super into. Today I’m here to share Hunter’s costume with you – a DIY T-Rex costume! Hello and happy November! Last night we took the kids trick of treating with some friends and had a blast.
