Homemade Viking Costume

you really dont need to buy one - when i was in primary school, i had to dress up to - it is very easy to make:
- get an old sheet (preferably pale coloured) and fold in half
- cut an out a dress shape (basically a T)
- stitch roughly, then cut a neck hole and stitch with zig zag overlapping the edge on a sewing machine or roll it and stitch so that it doesn't fray
- get another sheet of darker colour - or just a different colour, and cut out two long rectangles to be an apron (very common for women) and add two straps over the shoulders.
- get some card and gold paper (wrapping paper is good) and cut out two ovals to be clasps, and pin or sew on the straps at the front like buttons
- if you have ribbon then put some on the bottom of the apron
all this can be really roughly done - just make sure there is plenty of space for her to run in as a 9 year old is active and probably will fall/stretch the material.
do her hair in plaits, one each side if possible, and a cloak if youve got the spare sheeting and you will have one genuine viking daughter!
also, it is a good idea not to throw the costume away as it can pretty much be adapted for anything when she is older and needs to dress up again, like an indian salwar kameez costume (add a long scarf) or peasant dress (headscarf) if she is doing school presentations or anything else.
luck!

They probably have well known television or action picture characters, which you should ask your brothers in the event that they are attracted to dressing up like quite a few of them. if so, enable their creativity run wild and have various relaxing assisting to make their costumes. i'm passionate in direction of pigs and could p.c.

if you could find an old fashioned brown material bag( like a potato sack) you could turn it upside down and cut a neck hole and arm holes (i used to work at york viking museum and have seen this done) and then you could buy a hat from a fancy dress shop. good luck

Usually, which too long for me. I believe it depends on the guy and also his face though. Certain guys can pull off long hair and others can't.

This site has the Viking hat with the horns.

The item # is #9660790. It costs $5.32.
The dress would probably be a simple sack dress.

I have pretty lengthy hair, I like them but I actually think I would have them cut short in about some two years

take a brown pillow case and cut a neck hole and two arm holes in it. then put a rope belt on it, put her hair in braids or use yarn braids for a wig, wooden soled clogs would be proper for that outfit too.
