My husband decided he and Arthur would go as Chewbacca and Hans Solo for Halloween this year. I quickly came up with a very easy way of creating a tiny Hans Solo costume for very little money!
Supplies:
- 1 white long-sleeved shirt (the size your child wears) (I got mine at Wal-Mart for $4)
- 1 black short-sleeved shirt (the size your child wears) (I got mine at Wal-Mart for $4)
- 1 pair blue cotton pants (I got mine on amazon in a pack of two for $8)
- 1 piece of red felt
- red thread and needle (or fabric glue if you want)
- black sharpie
- black boots (I used a pair of rain boots we already had and they were perfect. I got them from Wal-Mart.)
- pretend gun and holster set (also from Wal-Mart for $4.98)
Directions:
- cut a slit at the neck of the white shirt going down the center about 1 inch
- cut the sleeves off of the black shirt and cut a line all the way down the center to create a vest
- cut two thin strips of red felt that is the length of the pant
- add black lines down the lengths of the red felt
- sew (or glue if you don't care to make it permanent) the red felt strip down the side of each pant leg)
- top off the outfit with the gun and holster and a the rain boots

Honestly, he barely wore the gun and holster and the outfit was totally recognizable without it so, you don't really have to have it. :) If you like my Ursula outfit above be sure to check out that tutorial here. Also, Derek's Chewy costume was actually a onesie male pajama set from Target for only $24.99!
