If you are allergic to mimimi, quickly close this page: a sheep costume is the height of charm, not everyone can tolerate such a dose. First, you will be moved by the process of making a sheep costume, then you will shed a tear when you see it put on for the first time, and then you will become the cause of everyone’s long-lasting emotion. This outfit is perfect for both a cute little lamb and an adult playful sheep. In general, you can dress the whole family in a small herd by appointing one person as a shepherd or shepherdess. So, take a deep breath and let’s get started!
Making a white body
You will need: a white T-shirt, a vest, a sweatshirt (you will have to cut off the sleeves), possibly with a hood, a lot of cotton balls, a needle and white thread.
- Choose a suitable suit that will become the basis of your sheep's body, lay it out.
- Take cotton balls (you can buy them at a drug store or home improvement store) and start sewing them onto the base.
- Sew tightly so that the balls create a continuous surface. If you are working with clothing that is not too loose, periodically try on the resulting body - it should not begin to wrinkle or shrink.
- Shake the finished structure thoroughly to check how tightly the balls are sewn. Maybe, individual elements will have to be secured additionally.
A few useful sheep secrets:
If you don’t want to or don’t know how to sew, you can simply glue the balls - especially if you have a convenient glue gun:
The finished suit can be trimmed around the perimeter faux fur, then the sheep will turn out to be the most touching:
As a base, you can use not only a wide vest, but also any other comfortable clothing. So, you can inexpensively buy white sports overalls or pajamas, and also sew a sheep costume with your own hands - especially when it comes to an outfit for a baby.
To go classic black and white, you can color some of the cotton balls black. Just do this ahead of time and let them dry before you start sewing or gluing. This will create a natural dividing line between dark and light coats. In addition, you can simply put black limbs under the white body using tight trousers and a turtleneck. To make the costume really fun, use... tights. Durable black tights, worn on your legs and arms, will turn you into a real graceful sheep!
Ears and horns
If you are lucky with a vest equipped with a hood, then you just need not stop and continue gluing the balls - so the hood will turn into a sheep's head. The ears can be cut out of white or black felt. If desired, you can hem them in soft pink. The main thing is not to forget to make a black dot on the nose - you will immediately have a very sheepish look:
In addition, the headdress for your sheep costume can be a whole head - for this you can use a large toy sheep or sew it according to a pattern, gluing on expressive eyes:
Alternatively, you can use a curly round wig as a base - in this case, the ears should be attached to the inner mesh. Completely “sheep” wigs can be purchased, for example, from us. Remember that if you are a natural brunette or brown-haired, a large and light halo around your head will require you to give up too wide eyebrows and, possibly, lighten your skin - this way your face will not appear too dark:
Very cute sheep masks can also be purchased, matching them in tone and style to the costume. This is what one of the soft fabric masks looks like:
And this is a version of a purchased cardboard mask:
A wonderful version of the mask can work out if you have... a disposable plate:
You will need a white plastic plate (the size depends on how large the head is for the mask), the same cotton balls, black and brown markers, glue, hairpins or an elastic band:
- Cut out the plate as shown in the picture - you should have the base of the mask, horns and ears.
- Glue the ears and horns onto the base of the mask.
- Bend the nose slightly and color it. Paint the horns brown or gild them - this is in fashion among sheep!
- Now stick cotton balls on the top, choosing a thickness of wool that suits you.
- Attach bobby pins or an elastic band to keep the sheep mask on your head. The mask is ready!
There are horns - now hooves!
Now all that remains is to make the hooves. Don’t forget that the sheep has four of them, so you’ll have to work with both hands and feet. The easiest option is to choose shoes and gloves (or mittens) to match. Alternatively, you can use black hoof-shaped foam bracelets. To make your sheep costume even more realistic, don't shy away from the idea of getting yourself a short, round tail. This could be a piece of fabric with several cotton balls or a cute voluminous tail stuffed with synthetic padding:
In addition, if you are sewing yourself a wonderful sheep's overalls, you can take care of the hooves (at least on the hind legs) in advance. Simply make your own soles from a very thick shiny fabric by gluing or sewing matching stripes on the instep. And if a sheep costume is made for the smallest lamb, the hooves can be made pink:
Feel free to decorate your costume. The sheep wear bells and bows! For example, like this:
See how easy it is to make a sheep costume! If your imagination requires something more, be bold. Maybe you can do something even more original while still maintaining its undeniable sheep-like quality. And yes! Don't forget to learn how to bleat well!

2015 is the year of the Sheep and all the kids in kindergarten decided to dress up as beautiful, cute sheep.

This work will take the minimum amount of time, and what we have achieved – see below, where the work itself is presented step by step photos. What if someone else finds it useful?!
We also made New Year's ones.
To create a sheep hat for a New Year's costume, we will need the following materials:
- whatman
- scissors
- PVA glue
- pink colored paper
- double sided tape
- padding polyester or holofiber, you can take cotton wool
- plastic eyes 2 pcs.
Lamb hat for New Year's costume - master class with photo:
Before starting work, we will use a template according to which we will make a drawing of our sheep hat.
On a piece of whatman paper we will draw an enlarged copy of the template, observing all proportions. 
Cut out the template along the contour. 
Next, cut into strips of the same width up to the line marked on the template. 
Then we cut off one strip after another. It will look like the following images, i.e. we get, as it were, “ribs”. 
We connect it into a ring using PVA glue. It turns out to be such a crown. 
Apply glue to the strip and glue it to the empty space on the opposite side inner part hats. 
Now we apply glue to the second strip, only on the side to which the previous strip was glued. 
In this way we glue all the strips, throwing each one to one side or the other. You should get a dome that looks like a hat. 
Now we will create the image of a sheep. To do this, copy or print the following template. 
Using the template, we cut out the head and bangs from the remaining Whatman paper. 
Cut out the inner ears from pink paper and glue them to the ears on the head. 
Glue the bangs on top. 
Glue plastic eyes to the face and draw a mouth. 
We will cover the sheep's hat in a circle with holofiber, padding polyester or cotton wool, leaving space for attaching the face. 
We also glue holofiber onto the forelock to make the sheep fluffy.
WITH reverse side We glue the faces with double-sided tape, tear off the protective tape and glue them to the cap.

Do you want to sew a New Year's outfit for your baby? Don't know how and what to do? Make your own lamb costume. It's not difficult, but this thing looks very original.
Options and ideas
It’s easy to make a DIY lamb costume in different ways from several types of materials. Options could be:
- in the form of a blouse with or without sleeves;
- warm or light, with terry or plush inserts;
- the voluminous muzzle is made integral with the costume;
- overalls, the continuation of which are slippers in the shape of hooves;
- separately sewn hooves (like mittens and boots);
- a vest and a hat with horns, the rest was selected from ordinary things;
- only a muzzle in the form of a cap.
A DIY lamb costume can be made from white or brown material. The most important thing is to make clothes that will make it comfortable for a child of this age to walk, sit, and not feel hot. If you are making an outfit for a baby for a photo shoot, even warm fabric and a model in the form of overalls will do, but for a preschooler going to the Christmas tree, where he will actively move and dance, it is better to provide something lighter - a vest with a hat, for example. Choose other accessories based on comfort as well.
What you will need
In order to make a lamb costume with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:
- the fabric from which you will sew the product, or ready-made clothes that match the color, which can be modified to match the sheep;
- pattern paper and pencil;
- scissors;
- threads with a needle;
- pins;
- a sewing machine, although you can do everything by hand;
- cotton balls, openwork yarn, wool or acrylic threads, to imitate sheep skin.
DIY lamb costume for a baby
To make a model like the one shown in the photo below, do the following:
1. Buy a ready-made jumpsuit made of soft fabric or use an existing cotton one, make a pattern and sew it yourself according to the sample.
2. From pink fabric (blue for a boy), cut out the details of the ears, chest and cuffs.
3. Sew all the parts in the appropriate places, pre-processing the cuts.
4. For the feet, ordinary white socks are quite suitable, which can also be decorated.
5. Sew satin ribbon bows.
The first version of the costume is ready. If you need something lighter to keep your child from sweating while in the costume, try another idea.
You can sew this option yourself by cutting out the parts from an existing bodysuit or jumpsuit, or take a finished item and cut off the legs and sleeves. Don't forget to trim the edges. You can take any shoes and sew them on top, or simply put on terry or fluffy leg warmers, which are easy to make by folding a strip of fabric of the required width and sewing one seam.
DIY New Year's lamb costume for a preschooler
In this case, it is assumed that the child will be wearing it on the Christmas tree for at least an hour or two, so the outfit should not be too warm.
If you need to make such a thing quickly, take the following:
- white turtleneck and pants (preferably sports);
- Czechs;
- hat;
- black material, for example, fleece (for finishing), and also white - for making the muzzle and tail.
The sequence of work will be as follows:
- Cut out strips of black material to trim the bottom of the sleeves and legs.
- Sew each element into a ring, stitch the part in the right place.
- Make a hat from two semicircles or four petals.
- Make a tail, ears and muzzle.
- Connect all the elements.

Cotton ball suit
Another fun option that will require more time and perseverance, but in this case you do not need to know how to cut or sew. Choose suitable clothes for the base. A turtleneck, vest, T-shirt will do. The outfit is made both with and without sleeves. Buy cotton balls at the pharmacy and simply sew them tightly onto the product. If you don’t want to work with a needle and thread at all, glue them to the base. It's great if you have a heat gun.
Don't forget to shake the costume after decorating. If something falls off, you'll have to sew it on tighter. To make this outfit even more original, paint some of the balls black or brown. Use them for decoration. The pigment must be applied before sewing to the base. The paint must dry thoroughly. You can decorate a hat or knee socks with cotton balls. Instead of balls, you can use pompoms made from white or brown yarn. It will also be very original.
So, you have seen how different you can make a lamb costume with your own hands. The photos given in the article clearly show this. Choose an idea based on the amount of time you can spend making it and your sewing ability. Please your child with an original New Year's outfit. A beautiful thing Even a beginner can do it.
