Homemade Ahsoka Tano Costume
This is my daughter Olivia who is obsessed with Star Wars. She wanted a Homemade Ahsoka Tano Costume for Halloween. Of course she couldn't pick the easy Princess Leia.
So the costume is basically a white leotard dyed using brown orange and red Rit Dye to make the Terra Cotta skin tone. Then I sewed a little tube top and skirt out of a silky knit fabric. I used a jean skirt to outline a pattern for skirt and just measured her chest to know how wide to make tube top. I then cut out of vinyl a belt, belt buckle, leg covers (boots) and arm bands. to hold pieces together I used no sew sticky Velcro. I got a purple Microfiber fabric and cut the shape for front thing and colored it using a paint pen.
Now the hat, I used my wig head for the base to mold Crayola magic mold to get the shape of head piece then when dried (very light weight like Styrofoam) I then used newspaper and Mod Podge to cover it. Let it dry and painted it.
This was actually one of the easiest costumes I have done just not last min. due to letting head piece dry before painting. She loved it and I think it turned out adorable!
