Upcycled tracksuit to Dinosaur Costume
I made my nephew this Dinosaur Costume using one of his existing green tracksuits. The project is nice and simple and costs almost nothing to make.
The measurements in this tutorial are for a tracksuit sized age 2-3 years old. If you want to make your own version for an older child you may need to increase the size of the spikes and the amount used.

Step 1
Cut out a diamond shaped paper template for the spikes. I used a diamond 10cm tall by 7cm wide. Cut out 9 spikes from green felt.

Step 6
To create the tail you need to create a piece of felt long enough. I only have A4 pieces of felt so I had to sew 2 pieces together and cut off the excess. Our tail was 40cm long. Cut out more green felt diamond shapes and sew them down the centre of the large felt piece leaving an approx 10cm gap at the top.
