Pokemon Machamp Costume

Pokemon Machamp

Costume type:  Costumes for Boys
Categories:Halloween Costumes, Cartoon Costumes

This homemade costume for boys entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Toni, the 'Pokemon Machamp' costume creator:

My 5 yo son is wearing the Pokemon Machamp costume. It cost about $25 and was very little sewing involved. I used a "retired" Captain America suit and an Iron man suit that i ripped the arms off (both from Goodwill) then i picked up a pair of black briefs and a thin aqua belt i also found at goodwill. We spray painted the costume with 2 cans of Aqua Rustoleum spray paint. I stuffed inserted pipe insulation (think pool noodle material) into the arms to hold them up and be lite weight and those are both inserted onto a painstick that is tied to his shoulders/back with the aqua belt. The only sewing i did was at the feet to form the toe area like a "W" and then i stuffed that and sealed it shut with duct tape. The headpiece luckily came with the captain america costume because it worked out great to insert the cardboard fins into. i just cut them to size duct taped them and then inserted them and duct taped them in to the hood. i crafted the buckle with yellow felt and a marker and the moth i just crafted with yellow felt as well and attached with a few stiches under the eyes of the hood. The gloves i found at Michaels already that color and just put them over top. i did have to sew the fingers into a fist for the fake hands.

Awesome job! Are you done with it by chance?? My son is begging for a machamp costume and I am def not as artistically or creatively inclined as you seem and what it seems like it would take to make this! Lol. Anyway if by chance you are looking to sell it or want to make another one and sell it?!
Thx,
Michelle
