Last Minute No Sew Wizard of Oz Costumes
I’ve been trying to figure out what I’m going to wear tonight to our girls night out costume party. I received lots of great suggestions on my Facebook Page. I especially liked this one,
After much consideration I came up with the idea of a no-sew Dorothy costume.
My kids joined in the fun but I can’t imagine going to the girls night party without them. They are so adorable in their scarecrow and lion costume which by the way is also no-sew.

Dorothy Costume
Here’s what you need:
- plaid fabric (I used thin flannel fabric I found in the baby section of the fabric store).
- ribbon
- fabric glue or silicone glue (I love my liquid silicone glue).
1. Take your fabric and cut it into 2 rectangles. I just put the fabric in front of me and guesstimated how big I wanted my rectangles to be.
2. Then I glued the smaller rectangle under the larger rectangle in the middle, as shown above.
3. Take your ribbon and glue it onto the back of the fabric.
4. Take a small piece of fabric or ribbon and glue it to the top part of the rectangle.
As I mentioned I used thin flannel fabric so I didn’t to do anything to the edges.
I happen to love red shoes so I’m wearing my non-sparkly red heels with white socks.
The Scarecrow
The Scarecrow is really simple! Take a plaid shirt and a straw hat. I painted a rectangle on his cute little nose and of course you can add hay to make it more realistic but we don’t have any.
The Lion
And here’s A Night Owl’s Lion! He’s absolutely adorable and I love her mane idea using pom-pom balls!
The cute little brave lion was also super easy! Though I’ll start with I cheated because I used my sons old monkey costume and covered the head with yellow felt so you can’t see the monkey face.
