DIY unicorn costume

A unicorn costume for children is an absolute classic at carnival and is quick to make. With our cute unicorn mask to print out, you have the perfect basis for an imaginative last-minute costume. Simply combine it with white leggings and a simple long-sleeved shirt - alternatively in soft pastel colours. A colourful tulle tail on the headband or at the back of the trousers adds a magical detail. Finally, of course, glitter on the face and hair is a must - that's what makes a carnival costume for children really magical.

DIY dino costume

Dinosaurs are also one of the most popular carnival costumes for children. With the free Diego DINO mask, you can create a quick DIY DINO costume that is both comfortable and creative. Particularly practical: with a green or grey-green onesie, you're ready to go. If you don't have one, you can also combine leggings and a longsleeve in matching colours. With a little more time, you can also make DINO spikes out of felt, which are attached to the back up to the hood. Put on the mask - and the homemade DINO costume for children is ready.
