Are you looking for something a little spunky? Perhaps you are tired of always being the Pilgrim or Native American at your dinner table on Thanksgiving. Every Holiday can offer us some wonderful chances for dressing up in costumes, and Thanksgiving is no different. If you are ready to wow your costume party friends then be the meal with our Dinner Plate Costume. As the Thanksgiving Meal you will need a few items to pull it off.
Materials Needed:
White Cotton
Blue Fabric
Wire
Brown Fabric
Tan Fabric
Yellow Fabric
Red Fabric
Orange Fabric
Knife and Fork
Instructions:
Step 1: www.joann.com or www.discountfabrics.com are two places you should be able to find the fabric and materials listed above.
Step 2: You will not be able to use a pattern for this costume, so you will have to wing it. The first thing you will create is the dinner plate. Using the wire and blue fabric or any color fabric really- you can begin to cut out a round or square plate. The plate will need to be attached to an old shirt or sweatshirt as it will hang off the front of your clothing. You could also use suspenders to hang the plate of your shoulders.
Step 3: Work on the plate on a flat surface to attach your Thanksgiving Meal. The cotton can be used to create the mashed potatoes, and you can even add a little brown fabric or brown glue substance for the gravy.
Step 4: The red fabric works great for cranberries.
Step 5: If you are like many families you probably have some form of Candied Yam. Make sure to use the orange fabric to get your yams set on the plate.
Step 6: The yellow fabric can symbolize corn if you enjoy that vegetable at Thanksgiving. It can also be used to create the breaded stuffing.
Step 7: Lastly you will need to use the tan and brown fabric to create the turkey you are eating. Cover little turkey pieces with a little gravy and you are almost ready to go.
Before stepping out the door grab your favorite knife and fork. Now you are ready to be the meal at Thanksgiving.
