How to Make a Cow Costume: 12 Steps
Creating a cow costume for yourself or your kids can be a fun and creative project to undertake. This guide will walk you through 12 easy steps to make an adorable cow costume that is perfect for parties, Halloween, or school plays.
1. Gather materials:
Before you begin, collect the following materials:
– White fabric (enough to cover the body)
– Black fabric for spots
– Scissors
– Fabric glue or sewing machine
– A white shirt and pants (or leggings)
– Black shoes
– White gloves
– A white cap or headband
– Cardboard for ears
– Pink fabric or felt for inner ears
2. Measure and cut:
Measure the height and width of the person who will wear the costume. Cut out a rectangular piece of white fabric that is large enough to fold in half and cover the person’s body.
3. Attach black spots:
Cut several irregularly-shaped spots from the black fabric. Attach these spots onto the white fabric using fabric glue or a sewing machine.
4. Sew or glue the sides:
Fold the white fabric in half with spots on the outside. Sew or glue along the sides, leaving space for armholes.
5. Create the neck hole:
Cut a semi-circular shape at the top of the costume to create a neck hole.
6. Attach shirt and pants (optional):
To give your costume more stability, attach it to white clothes (such as a plain t-shirt and leggings) underneath with safety pins.
7. Design cow ears:
Draw and cut out four ear shapes from your cardboard; two big enough to be outer ear parts, two smaller ones fitting inside those as inner ear parts.
8. Assemble cow ears:
Cover outer ear parts with white fabric and inner ear parts with pink fabric (or felt). Then, attach pink inner ears inside the white outer ears using fabric glue or a needle and thread.
9. Attach ears to the headpiece:
Glue or sew the cow ears to a white cap or a headband.
10. Accessorize:
Put on black shoes, white gloves, and any additional accessories you’d like, such as a cowbell necklace.

Use makeup to paint a black nose and black spots onto the face to complete the cow look.
