Make a Carnival Outfit

As Carnival weekend approaches, our thirst for bright and colourful Carnival outfits moves into overdrive. But many clothes shops aren’t open yet due to lockdown restrictions, and online shopping... well let’s be honest, doesn’t always deliver!

To avoid last minute surprises, how about making your own Carnival Headdress and Outfit from home, so you won’t miss out on the party. Ready to get crafty with us?

We were inspired by Marsha – from St Kitts & Nevis, check out her DIY Full Carnival Costume tutorial on YouTube, and give her your thumbs up!

You will need:

• Hot Glue Gun and sticks
• Sturdy Sun Visor
• Cardboard box (approx. 50cm length)

You'll also need to head to your local craft store and get the following:

• Rhinestones and Acrylic Crystals for clothes crafts.

• Feathers, lots of! In at least 2 different colours.

• A colourful swimsuit (an old one that you do not mind gluing), to match the colour of your feathers. Follow the patterns and glue as many Crystals and Rhinestones as you want!

Now your're all set to make your own Carnival Outfit!
