About this deal

To portray Mary, you need a special costume, one that will radiate the gentle courage and beauty of the mother of Jesus. Are your kids putting on a Nativity this Christmas, or do they just want to get into the festive spirit with a little fancy dress fun? For a Mary costume, you can make the tabard listed above – just use some blue material or a large blue pillowcase which can be slit at the bottom and sides to make a simple tunic. If your son is refusing to wear a skirt, they may settle for very baggy trousers with a robe (preferably cream or brown) over the top. Fold your fabric in half and measure it to check it's the right length and size to fit your child comfortably.

I particularly loved your handwriting sections and the ‘Learning Journey’ links that you have created. Fold your fabric in half, and measure it to check it's the right length and size to fit your child comfortably. Follow these instructions to make some angel wings, go here for how to make a halo yourself, and take a look at these steps to make an angel costume from scratch. Obviously if you’re a whizz with a sewing machine, you could add on additional pieces, like a waist coat over for shepherds, or add an elasticated cinched in waist to make the t-shirt more fitted.To make the headdress for your child's Mary costume, take around half a metre of a darker blue fabric and cut it into a rectangle. If you've already got a fairy costume or tutu, fairy wings and tiara in your dressing-up box, this one's pretty easy. You’ll need: Black leggings or tights, a leotard or t-shirt (yellow/gold if possible), a stick, some card, glue and some glitter paint. The pillowcase is to become a simple tunic, so make cuts down the sides for the arms to come through, and at the top for the head. I'm finding your site an absolutely fantastic resource alongside the stuff being sent from my son's school.

So whether they're a shepherd, a wise man, an angel, a stable animal, or they're playing a lead role of Mary or Joseph, check out our DIY Nativity costume ideas below. For most Nativity costumes, you can get away with a tabard or a tunic to make up the base of the outfit.If you've got other children who'll also be in the play, or you need costumes for a different event, check out our other tutorials on outfits for Joseph, a Shepherd, a King or Wise Man, and an Angel - and check out more of our Nativity costume tips here. Make a plain or stripy tunic (an old striped duvet cover or baggy t-shirt will do) and tie around the waist with a length of rope or a belt. Do be aware that your child may have to sit down at some point so don’t make the stars so big that this becomes difficult.

Meanwhile, cows look good in black leotards and leggings, accessorised with cut-out white 'splodges' made from felt which can be sewn or glued onto your child's clothing. Wrap a striped tea towel around your child’s head and fasten in a knot – if this proves tricky, use hair fasteners or a head band to help. To secure your child's headdress in place, a stretchy headband will work best – ideally in blue or black. They've got one of the lead roles which is sure to be exciting, and they'll need a fabulous costume to wear on their big day.You can easily make a crown out of cardboard, and use some coloured tissue paper or glitzy wrapping paper to create the sparkling 'jewels'.

For this, cut out a star shape and paint it with glitter paint, then fasten it onto a stick (like a garden cane cut short). It's a proud moment for any parent and you'll no doubt be excited to see your little one up there on the stage. If you've not got a sewing machine or don't fancy getting your needle and thread out then you can simply use iron-on hemming tape like Wonderweb (also known as Wundaweb) or a glue gun to put your costume together.If your little one’s not that keen on putting on a full costume, let them dress in just the leggings/tights and leotard/t-shirt and hold a star. You might struggle if your children are tall, but unless they definitely need to the floor costumes, they’ll do the job. And while it's lots of fun (and very cute) seeing the kids perform, the preparation that goes into a Nativity play can be stressful: from learning lines, to making that all-important costume! Again, you can make a simple tunic for these costumes –just use a colourful or velvet fabric for a King or a Wise Man. However, amongst all the excitement you've probably got the stress of making their Nativity play costume yourself.
