Adult Karate Kid Costume

To hand out candy to the kids this Halloween Eric wanted to be dressed as the Karate Kid so for less than $20.00 we bought the grey sweater at Michaels, the red sweat pants at walmart and the white fabric at Joanns and I set out to throw together a bandanna.

Christi at Lemon Squeezy Home gave me the inspiration and picture that I used to make the headband. She used a few different methods that could work better for you if the below method doesn’t work out.

Supplies:

  • Sharpie (blue would be movie correct)
  • Scissors
  • Cardboard (cereal box)
  • white fabric of choice
  • Icon print out found below
  • Masking tape
  • Paper clips
  • Pen

 

STEPS

#1. Print off the flower karate kid head band image here

#2. Measure the persons head you are trying to fit and cut your fabric so that there is enough left to hang down to the base of their neck.

#3. I chose to paper clip the print out underneath my fabric, tape it to a window, and then used a pen to outline the image No automatic alt text available.

#4. I used a large sharpie to retrace the image on the fabric and color it because the paint was too messy and unpredictable.

TIP: Make sure that none of your fabric is folder over its self and that you have a piece of cardboard underneath the fabric because the sharpie will bleed through if doing this on your table.

#5. I then just made a few rows of polka dots with the sharpie tip

#6. Use seam sealing iron on tape to seal the fabric edges together and keep it from fraying
