Fred Flintstone Costume | DIY Halloween Costumes

DIY Fred Flintstone Costume Materials:

• Animal print fabric- I got a sheet at the thrift store for $4. Local thrift stores are great places for costumes!
  • We often have quite a number of Animal Print Fabrics at KnitFabric.com. At KnitFabric.com we offer higher quality fabrics, at better prices, with flat rate shipping. 
• Pinking Shears to cut the bottom
• Blue Tie (I found this in my husband's closet but I also through a link into one for Amazon if you need one.) You can also make a DIY tie with our FREE Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop tie pattern. 

DIY Fred Flintstone Costume Instructions:

Step 1: Measure your hubby and cut a rectangle the size of your costume - pay attention to both the width and length. I doubled my sheet so I would only have 1 side seam to sew. My costume is about 25x50". I laid down a t-shirt to make sure I was making the costume nice and roomy- skin tight animal print. Not good...I wouldn't be able to get my husband in that costume....

Step 2: Use your pinking shears to cut some nice fringe to the bottom of your costume:)

Step 3: Make a cut at the front half of the costume to make a neckhole.

Step 4: Since I only had 1 side seam I had to cut an armhole in the folded side of the fabric.

Step 5: Sew up your shoulder seams and side seam. Make sure you don't sew your side all the way up- leave room for an armhole - about the same height up as you cut the armhole on the other side.

Make Other Flintstone Costumes

Fred isn't the only Flintstone costume we show you how to make around here. I sewed up a Wilma costume for myself as well as a Pebbles costume for my daughter. Make sure to check out the tutorials below so everyone at your party can meet all the Flintstones: 

(1) Wilma Flintstone Costume: The Wilma Costume was just about as easy as the DIY Fred. I made this out of a simple white sheet for the dress and scrap paper and plastic wrap for the classic flintstone necklace. This is another super easy diy sew that's a perfect diy for a beginner. 

(2) Pebbles Flintstone Costume: The Pebbles Flinstone outfit really made the whole thing come together for the family of Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles. I was able to use the leftover fabric from the DIY Fred Flintstone costume and cut out this small dress for my daughter. I also sewed up the cute bone hair accessory for the complete Pebbles look with a little bit of white fabric, hot glue, and a hair clip.
