Making a Kevin From UP Costume for Halloween 2023
The Easiest Way to Recreate the Iconic Look
Pixar's "Up" is a beloved movie, and Kevin the giant exotic bird is one of its most iconic characters. Whether you're an adult looking for a fun Halloween costume or a parent trying to help your child recreate the look, you can make a Kevin costume with a few simple items. Here's how.
Finding the Right Clothing
Kevin's iconic look is easy to recreate with some simple clothing. You'll need a white t-shirt and some tan or orange cargo pants. A pair of brown shoes and some white gloves will complete the outfit. You can also find a red bandana or scarf to tie around your neck, but this item isn't necessary.
Creating the Feathers
The most important part of the costume is creating the feathers. You can use a variety of materials, but the easiest way is to use a long piece of white fabric. Cut the fabric into feathers of various shapes and sizes, then use a hot glue gun to attach them to the white t-shirt. You can also use felt, foam, or other materials to recreate the feathers.
Making the Beak
The beak is a very important part of the costume. You can make the beak out of foam, felt, or cardboard. Cut the beak out of your chosen material and then attach it to the shirt with hot glue. You can also use paint to color the beak if you choose.
Adding Some Accessories
To complete the look, you can add some extra accessories. A pair of glasses can make the costume more authentic, as Kevin wears them in the movie. You can also use a stuffed animal or a toy to create a sidekick for your costume. You can even add a few balloons to your costume to make it look like you're floating!
Finishing Touches
Once you have all the pieces of the costume together, you can add some finishing touches. To make the costume look more realistic, you can use paint or markers to add details such as eyes, feathers, and stripes. You can also use fabric paint to create the colorful feathers on Kevin's back.
Enjoying Your Costume
Now that you have your Kevin costume, you can enjoy it for Halloween or any other costume event. It's a great way to show off your creativity and have fun. So grab your costume and get ready to show it off!
