Donkey costumes can be fun for both adults and children and can be worn to a Halloween party or a kid's birthday party. These types of costumes have become more popular since the release of the Shrek movie and the popularity of "Donkey" in the movie. Instead of purchasing a donkey costume, save money by creating your own donkey costume at home. A do-it-yourself donkey costume is inexpensive and can be fun to create.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a gray hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants. Cut out donkey ears from gray felt and sew to the hood of the gray sweatshirt.

Step 2
Cut a strip of black fabric to create a donkey tail. The strip should be approximately 16 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Attach 10 six-inch pieces of black yarn to the strip using fabric glue. Sew the opposite end of the tail to the bottom of your gray sweatshirt.
Step 3
Wear black socks on your hands and feet to represent hooves. To prevent slipping, cut out the bottom of the socks and pull over your shoes.
Step 4
Paint your face white using a water-based paint that is labeled as face or body paint. Add fake teeth that resemble a donkey. This type of teeth can usually be found at party stores or ordered online.
