Kids Boys Joseph Nativity Christmas Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Make a plain or stripy tunic (an old striped duvet cover or baggy t-shirt will do) and tie around the waist with a length of rope or a belt. Don't forget to give your little one a child's doll, swaddled in a blanket or towel, to serve as the baby Jesus! For a Mary costume, you can make the tabard listed above – just use some blue material or a large blue pillowcase which can be slit at the bottom and sides to make a simple tunic. And they'll need a present to carry for the baby Jesus; you can make this from an old cardboard box, covered in gold or shiny wrapping paper, too.

Once you've made the tunic (trust us: it's easy peasy) then you're pretty much halfway there to any Nativity costume.

Twist two yellow pipe cleaners together to make a ring for your child’s head, and then connect a gold pipe cleaner from the back of the star to the headband ring and fix in place.
