For those whose children love tractors, consider making a John Deere tractor Halloween costume. Not only is it unique, but it is also sure to impress your child’s friends and family. In this article, we will go through the steps of making a John Deere tractor costume.
Materials
To make a John Deere tractor costume, you will need the following materials:
- Green felt fabric
- Pipe cleaners
- Yellow duct tape
- A baseball cap
- A toy steering wheel
- A cardboard box
- Glue gun
- Scissors
The tractor body
To create the tractor’s body, start by covering the cardboard box with green felt fabric. Use a hot glue gun to attach the fabric to the cardboard. Next, cut out yellow duct tape to create the John Deere emblem and attach it to the front of the box. To create the wheels, cut out two circles from cardboard and cover them with green felt. Use pipe cleaners to create the spokes of the wheels and glue them to the center of the circles. Glue the wheels to the sides of the box.
The tractor steering wheel
For the steering wheel, use a toy steering wheel and attach it to a baseball cap. Use green duct tape to cover the cap, and then attach the cap to the front of the tractor body. This will create the illusion that the child is driving the tractor.
Additional details
To make the costume more authentic, add additional details such as a faux exhaust pipe and headlights. Use brown felt to create the exhaust pipe and attach it to the back of the tractor. For the headlights, cut out two circles from white felt and attach them to the front of the tractor. Finish it off with some yellow duct tape to create the appearance of lights.
