With so many costumes to choose from, how do we ever decide? Favorite animal? Cartoon character? What about a hobbit costume? I mean, who didn't see Lord of the Rings and adore those little hobbits? It's a simple costume to buy or make, and anyone can pull it off.
Who?
The beauty of this costume is anyone can pull it off. Hobbit costumes work for every shape and size, age and gender. You can dress up your children in an age appropriate costume, or dress up as a family and become the hobbit family from down the street; yes I will tell you how you can make your costume that great.
Where to buy?
You can walk into any costume store and find a classic hobbit costume. As online shopping has become more convenient, you will not be let down if this is your shopping method of choice, as there are more options on the net than in the one costume shop within 20 miles of you. The best part, if you find the right online store, you can even get a discount coupon code and free shipping!
Though this will make for a great costume, you've got to dress it up to stand out from the rest. When it comes to getting the most candy, you have to give it a little more oomph to stand out from rest.
Some accessories you can find that will definitely beat out the other hobbit costumes are items such as hobbit feet, which slip over your shoes and are one size fits all. Another necessary accessory purchase is the hobbit kit, which comes complete with light up sword and ring.
How To Make?
For those of you looking to get creative with your hobbit costumes, you're in luck because this is an easy costume to make and actually do well, but you'll need to dig through the cobwebs of that old attic first. Locate the wool pants you bought and swore you'd wear on cold winter evenings, that have since kept your old jeans warm in the box labelled, "Goodwill." Thank yourself for making that purchase, then go ahead and cut them just below the knees.
Next, grab that box and head to Goodwill, where you can finally donate those clothes and get yourself a pair of suspenders to really authenticate the costume. Dig out that now off-white collared shirt out from the back of your closet and put it all together!
This is the skeleton for hobbit costumes, but you could do more. While at Goodwill you should find yourself a vest, in some sort of earth tone, and keep your eyes peeled for a long brown suit jacket and/or cloak. For the final touches you could splurge on hobbit ears or the feet previously mentioned.
A Hobbit costume is easy to find, easy to make, and is available for everyone from adult to child. Whether you do it yourself, or purchase the pieces, do it well because Lord of the Rings Costumes are all the rage and you don't want to get lost in the crowds.
