Tiger stripes are an important part of a Tigger costume.

The idyllic little world of Winnie the Pooh is populated by unforgettable characters loved by children and adults alike. The high-spirited Tigger, with his endearing habit of bouncing on his tail, is a particular favorite among little ones who are full of energy themselves. Fortunately, making a Tigger costume is quick and affordable. Gear up for Halloween or just stock your child's costume box with this simple craft.

Step 5

Cut two ear-shaped pieces out of orange felt. Attach them to the orange hat with a hot glue gun.

Step 6

Paint a black triangle on your child's nose with face paint. Paint black and orange stripes radiating from the center of her face.

Tip

Attach the tail high enough that it will not get in the way when your child sits down.

Warning

Always supervise children when playing with homemade costumes as small pieces could come off and pose a choking hazard.
