Product Information

One of the defining features of a peanut costume is its shell. To create the textured shell, various techniques can be used. One option is to use faux fur fabric and cut it into the shape of the peanut shell. Another option is to use felt fabric and add texture by stitching or gluing smaller pieces of felt onto the shell. Adding texture to the shell will give the costume a more realistic and visually appealing look. Creating the Shell Details Of course, we're not making a sphere, so it isn't quite so easy as this, you'll have to feel it out along the way. For the bottom section of your Mr. Peanut, you will want to pinch a lot of wires together at the very bottom of the structure (to make it more spherical there), and you'll also want to pinch some near the top (to make the structure constrict into it's characteristic peanut shape at your chest). With the top piece, you'll want to make a spherical looking part at the bass (Mr. Peanut's head) and then leave it somewhat cylindrical above that (for the top hat). Don't worry about getting the brim of the top hat or the top surface of the top hat, as we'll use cardboard for that afterward. Adjust the size according to your measurements, ensuring it’s large enough for your head to fit through but not too loose. Once you have the basic structure of the costume, it’s time to get creative with the details. Paint the bag with shades of brown to resemble the texture of a peanut shell. You can also add some shading and highlights to make it more realistic. The eyes are an essential part of the peanut costume as they give the character life and expression. There are various materials that can be used to create the eyes, such as foam or felt. Both materials are lightweight and easy to work with, making them ideal for this purpose. It is important to choose a color for the eyes that will stand out against the fabric of the costume to ensure visibility. Creating the Peanut’s Expression To make the peanut costume even more visually appealing, enhancing the overall appearance is key. This can be achieved by adding additional details such as leaves or stems at the top of the costume to mimic the appearance of a real peanut. Additionally, incorporating other elements such as a hat or gloves can further enhance the costume and make it more unique and personalized.

To make the peanut costume even more authentic, adding details to the shell is essential. This can be done by using fabric paint or markers to create the lines and ridges that are typically seen on a peanut shell. Another option is to sew or glue small pieces of fabric onto the shell to represent the seams of the shell. These details may seem small, but they can make a significant difference in the overall appearance of the costume.

Halloween occurs at the time of the year when the last of the harvest is being gathered, the days are cooler, and the nights come earlier and seem more mysterious. Its a time for children of all ages to enjoy the preparations as they invite witches and monsters and hobgoblins home. To allow for comfortable movement, the peanut costume should have leg openings. The placement of these leg openings will depend on the height and size of the wearer. It is important to measure and mark the appropriate locations for the leg holes before cutting or sewing, ensuring that they are evenly positioned and aligned. Sewing the Leg Openings Don't glue the slender part because this is wear the arms go. I also did not glue the bottom so that my child could get into the costume from the bottom.

To secure everything I started to sew it together but that didn't work out at all. The thread went through the foam and didn't make a tight connection. Instead I bought Loctite spray glue that is for foam. This is key because other flies are not strong or eat at the foam. I even tried a hot glue gun and it didn't hold well. It also melted the foam.You'll have to figure out how wide you want the structure to be around your middle depending on your personal dimensions, but I found that roughly 5 feet long was sufficient to get around the circumference of my body, and since I made two of these structures I got a length of 10 feet of pigeon wire. You may want to clip out some of the wire to make it fit better allowing more room for your legs or arms. After trying on the costume, it may be necessary to make some adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. This can be done by taking in or letting out the seams, adding or removing padding, or making any other necessary changes. It is important to take the time to modify the fit if needed to ensure that the costume is comfortable and enjoyable to wear. Conclusion To start off, you’ll need a few essential materials such as a large brown paper bag, scissors, glue or tape, and some craft paint. The first step is to cut holes in the bottom of the bag for your legs. Make sure they’re wide enough for you to comfortably walk and move around in. Next, cut a hole in the top of the bag for your head.

Once the peanut top is complete, it can be attached to the body of the costume. This can be done by aligning the openings of the peanut top with the top opening of the peanut body and sewing them together. It is important to ensure that the top is securely attached to the body to prevent any accidents or slips during wear. Before cutting anything I folded the foam at the top of the peanut so that there was an extra couple of inches between the top of the peanut and the fold. This helps to give some 3D shape. Then I traced the other side of the fold with same peanut shape. Leave enough space for the body.
