DIY Noble Knight Costumes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Homemade Kids Costume Opts for a Brave Soldier

— October 31, 2015 — Art & Design
For children that struggle to the last minute to decide what they'd like to be on Halloween, this noble knight costume is a great one to put together in a knick of time. The costume contains several homemade pieces that replicate the look of medieval solider using mostly aluminum foil.

The costume requires string, an aluminum foil cupcake tin, cabinet liner, duct tape and cardboard. The cabinet liner is used to replicate the chainmail and duct tape is used along with cardboard to make the sword. Then the cupcake tin is used to make the shield and a beanie acts as the helmet. You can add as many details as you want using other silver or shiny materials such as breast and leg plates. This is a great product for kids to put together on their own as well.
Trend Themes
1. Homemade Costumes - Opportunity for companies to provide DIY costume kits that allow children and adults to easily create their own unique costumes at home.
2. Medieval-style Costumes - Demand for costumes that replicate the look of medieval soldiers, providing opportunities for costume manufacturers to create authentic and detailed designs.
3. Sustainable Costumes - Growing trend of using environmentally friendly materials, like aluminum foil and cardboard, in costume DIY projects, leading to opportunities for companies to develop eco-friendly costume options.
Industry Implications
1. Costume Manufacturing - Manufacturers can leverage the demand for homemade and medieval-style costumes by creating DIY kits or authentic replicas for children and adults.
2. Craft and DIY Supplies - Opportunity for craft and DIY supply stores to offer a wide range of materials and tools specifically tailored for creating homemade costumes, such as aluminum foil, cardboard, and chainmail-like fabric.
3. Eco-friendly Products - Companies specializing in eco-friendly materials and products can tap into the market for sustainable costumes by providing alternatives to traditional costume materials, such as aluminum foil and cardboard.
