This is a fun, quick and super affordable dinosaur costume for Halloween or just to dress up for kids. It is inspired by the new Disney movie coming out called The Good Dinosaur. I saw a clip of it at the D23Expo and shed a few tears. It is an adorable movie that I know my daughter is going to love!

How to Make The Good Dinosaur Costume

Step 1: Cut both sleeves off and cut both cuffs off. Then using one of the sleeves, cut a diagonal line. The sleeves are going to be the dinosaur tail.

Step 4: While the tail is drying, begin making the spikes. Glue two pieces of felt together making different size triangle shapes. Smaller pieces for the top of the head and the bottom of the tail. Larger pieces in the middle. Don’t glue all the way down the bottom, leave a little space at the bottom as in the picture below.

  1. Thanks for sharing! I just made this for my toddler’s Halloween costume. I used a hot glue gun instead of tacky glue and it came out great!
