The tutorial covers various techniques to create a costume portraying your favorite mascot, whether you’re looking for a prize-winning contest entry or a quick, budget-friendly project.

To make a lion costume, start by purchasing a golden sweatsuit for the body and cutting an oval out of brown felt and sewing it to the belly of the suit. To make the mane, sew yellow fabric around a piece of cardboard. This DIY project is perfect for school theatre productions, bringing the iconic Lion King to life, or a carnival costume.
