While strolling through the Jim Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian, my two friends and I decided we needed a Muppets Halloween costume. And not just any Muppets, but the best Muppet’s ever: the Mahna Mahna Muppets. They are also known as Mahna Mahna and the Snowths.
For the Snowths we made the heads out of foam and flannel bought at a fabric store, and a hot glue gun. Their eyes are Styrofoam balls with felt glue-gunned on. The dresses we made out of the only pink fur we could find, and finished it off with some pink socks on our arms, pink tights, and a boa.
For Mahna Mahna we got an orange wig, cut up another hat that had orange hair attached to make the orange beard, made a big pink nose out of Styrofoam, and made a green dress out of some green fabric.
Not everyone knew who we were, but for those who did, it was so worth it!
i am looking for those exact costumes for my daughter’s birthday party- she is obsesses with the Mahna Mahna video- is there any way i can buy those costumes from you? or just rent them?? please let me know asap!
thank you so much!
This is absolutely amazing! My granddaughter will be 1 in a couple of weeks, I’ve been looking for Manah Manah related items, as that is her all time favorite video, she could watch it time after time and never be bored, her face lights up and her smile is radiant. Do you rent or sell?
Please let me know, I would love to have them for her.
By Far the coolest!
Thank you!
Those are great costumes! My husband directed me to your site. Your costumes are the most realistic ones he’s found online. He wants me to make the costumes. Can you provide more detail on making the heads? Perhaps patterns or approximate dimensions?
I can not believe how amazing the costumes are! I love the Muppets and they are to a T. . . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I’ll bet you guys made Jim smile in heaven. :o)
I’m making a similar costume this year (puppets for the Snowths though). Did you use orange clown wigs for the hair and beard, or something different? Thanks!
This is a great costume!
Hi, these are very good. I’m twelve and in a few weeks its my stepmums birthday and she loves the snowths. Do u think i can buy one from you?:)thanks loads :)
