DIY mushroom hat with cardboard and recycled fabric
Il mushroom hat is an indispensable item for this costume.
To make it, we recommend that you follow the following video tutorial by Piper Sommer. First you will need to create the base of the hat with recycled cardboard and cover it with a piece of white fabric, which you can also recover from an old sheet. Then you will need to add some red fabric, applying it with hot glue.
Create the underside of the mushroom with white pleated fabric and finally add the dots, which you can cut out of the white fabric by applying them with hot glue.
DIY Mushroom Carnival Costume for Adults with Old Clothes
Once the hat is ready, you will need to think about the dress. You can wear one old white nightgown, possibly long to the feet, to give the look a surreal touch.
Alternatively use a long vintage white dress. If you don't have it, try taking a look in grandma's trunk or pop into a flea market.
You can also experiment with a bit more modern looks by wearing pants and a shirt, both of which are white.
DIY Mushroom Carnival Costume for Kids
If the kids want to dress up as a mushroom, always follow the instructions in the video tutorial to make the hat and complete the costume with a white or light-colored dress.
If you want to update the mushroom costume by adding an ironic touch, you can use a skirt, white socks and red sneakers in pendant with the hat.
Do you have white dungarees? Customize it with red buttons and a few leaves of green fabric.

Finally, complete the costume with the appropriate make-up. We recommend that you paint your lips with red, use red or burgundy eyeshadow for the eyes, highlight the cheeks with the same red and add some mushrooms in your hair. Don't forget the white dots!
And here is an example of makeup for boys and girls. Very simple: white base for the face, two red balls on the cheeks and red on the lips too. Obviously, she uses makeup that is suitable for their delicate skin.
