Materials
Before we get started, you’ll need to gather a few materials. For Kermit, you’ll need green fabric, a white felt sheet, black felt sheet, and some foam. For Miss Piggy, you’ll need pink fabric, a blonde wig, and some pink feathers.
Creating Kermit’s Outfit
To make Kermit’s outfit, start by cutting out a large oval shape from your green fabric. This will be the body of the costume. Then, cut out two smaller ovals for the eyes, two circles for the pupils, and a mouth shape from the white felt sheet. Cut out two thin strips of black felt for the eyebrows and glue them onto the eyes. Cut out two arms from the green fabric and two hands from the foam. Attach the hands to the arms and sew the arms onto the body of the costume.
Creating Miss Piggy’s Outfit
To make Miss Piggy’s outfit, start by cutting out a large oval shape from your pink fabric. This will be the body of the costume. Then, cut out two smaller ovals for the eyes and two circles for the pupils from white felt sheet. Cut out a nose shape from pink felt and two ears from the pink fabric. Glue the ears onto the top of the head and the nose onto the front of the costume. Add pink feathers to the cuffs of the sleeves and the hem of the dress. Finally, add the blonde wig and a pair of pink gloves to complete the look.
Accessories
No Kermit and Miss Piggy costume would be complete without a few accessories! For Kermit, you’ll need a black bow tie and a top hat. You can make the top hat by cutting a circle out of the foam and a long strip for the brim. Glue the strip around the circle and attach it to the top of Kermit’s head. For Miss Piggy, you’ll need a pair of high heels and a pearl necklace.
Final Touches
Once you’ve finished making the costumes and accessories, it’s time for the final touches. Make sure to iron out any wrinkles or creases in the fabric. You can also add some green face paint to your face to complete the Kermit look. For Miss Piggy, add some pink blush to your cheeks and some pink lipstick.
Tips
When making the costumes, make sure to take accurate measurements to ensure a good fit. You can also add some stuffing to the body of the costumes to give them a more rounded shape. And don’t forget to have fun!
