Suppose you want to know how to make a homemade fruit costume, specifically strawberry. In that case, you will only need two large red cards, two medium-sized green cards, a pencil, a meter, and glue. The steps to follow for its elaboration are the following:

  1. First, you will have to measure the space you want the costume to cover. It must be from the neck to the middle of the thigh.
  2. Once you have marked the length with a pencil, you will have to measure the width to only let your arms peek out.
  3. Once both measures are arranged, it will be time to make the shape of the strawberry, with more width at the top and narrowing in a rounded way at the bottom.
  4. Once the shape of the strawberry is made, the green cards will be taken, drawing the leaves on the top of the fruit on both sides of the costume.
  5. Later they will be glued at the height of the neck, on the front and back, and when you have finished, use the rest of the green cardboard to stick small pieces of it around the body of the strawberry. This way, you can simulate their nuggets.
  6. To conclude with the costume, you must dress in a red shirt and pants. This way, you will have finished with your strawberry costume.

The steps for its creation are as follows:

  1. First of all, you will have to inflate the balloons. The number of them will depend on the height and contour of each person since the larger the person, the more balloons will be needed.
  2. Using glue, they will stick one by one on the shirt. When doing so, the least possible space must be left between one and the other so that the grapes are simulated. The body will act as the stem.
  3. Later, more balloons will be placed on the top of the shirt to properly simulate the bunch of grapes.
