my son has to dress up as a viking for school he,s 7.any one have any idea what to put on him?

Answer 1

That's so cool, my 10year old son loves vikings and any type of dressing up with armour and swords! A helmet with 2horns, a round shield and a sword. If you have any £1 shops in your area, they have a good amount of these armour sets at the toy section, yes, only £1! If you have boots or wellies, put fur on them and a brown string round the fur to look like it's tied to his legs. Or even better still, just tie fur material to his legs over his shoes. If you make a furry skirt like piece of material and tie it round his waist with a pair of shorts underneath, it will look like viking shorts. And a tshirt with a furry sash will do for on top.

Have fun!

Answer 2

Look up LRP or live role play weapons on the net.

For rubber realitic viking type weapons

Vikings wore furs, leathers helmets, had wide medium lenth heavey swords and axes.

Long blond hair.

Were to some extents like wild bikers only bikers were not into killing.

A circular shield can be made from cardboard. About 2 foot accross with half a ball stuck on the outside and stap on the inside. Put a couple of layers of card with the grains in different directions like plywood, colour in wood .

A swoard on the cheap could be made with a bibregalss kite rod, camping mat foam, 3 layers thick, have the rod comming no less then 6 cm from the end with the inside layer having had a slot for the groove cut in it... (use a roughly 1 cm thick rod) (the 6 cm is for saftty.


With a small bit of margarine pot plastic as a safety accross the end of the rod so when all 3 layers are glued together with say evostick, dunlop thixofix or other contact glue and you wiggle or stick the end into something or some one the rod wont piece through (similar thing on other end).

With the shape cut out and you cant feel the rod. you can coat in layers of silver gaffa /duct tape or 8 layers of latex or copydex mixted with acrylic paint (the nice version the tape is cheaper)

Use very frest stanley blades to cut the foam or if you have one a power file

Then wrap material around the handle and a leather lace .


Or to go ceap similar to above using cardboard instead of foam...


(the main description is roughly how they do real the lrp weapons)

Answer 3

(excuse the caps that are to come),

VIKINGS DID **NOT** WEAR HORNED HELMS!!!

(sorry about the outburst; I feel better now).

So, as for your son, I made a Norse ("viking") costume for my nephew really simply buy taking the top from a set of hospital scrubs (you can usually buy them pretty cheaply at uniform shops - I got mine a discount place near me) and using a fabric paint marker (bought for less than $4 at Michael's Craft Store) to put "trim" around the neck, sleeves, and hem. An adult top should fall to about a child's knees.

He wore this "tunic" over a long sleeved white t-shirt and a pair of tan khakis. We buckled a plain leather belt over top the tunic and had him wear his boots with the pants tucked in.

To complete the look, I took a small throw blanket and pinned to to his shoulders as a "cloak" (he could take this off if he got to hot). We made a viking shield out of cardboard, painted red, white & black.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Make him a viking helmet with wings on, out of a cardboard box and paint it gold or silver (They wore both colours!) Also a small short sword out of pinewood planking. And a tunic breast plate out of cardboard too! A pair of pants tied tight to the leg with leather thongs criss-crossed diamond shaped down his legs. Hey Presto! A Viking! Have a good day.

Answer 5

Hessian sack tied up with string - viking hat with horns available in most fancy dress shops and not too expensive and cut off sack over shoes tied up with yet more string! Been there, done that one! Looked quite good! My son used it over and over again!!!!

Answer 6
