DIY Ewok Costume

Bing bang boom look at my cute Ewok costume. 

I'm Italian, but I'm not that hairy. I did have to substitute some hair in the costume to make up for where I was lacking. 

Ewoks get a bad rap in the SW original trilogy. They come off as kind of silly and useless, and as if they could really defeat Stormtroopers (as if that's hard). But I like them, so screw you.

Especially Warrick W. Wicket, the little loner Ewok who I modeled my costume after and who most girls model their costumes after, but mine's better. So, suck it.

Inspiration came late one night and I had to write it all down. I definitely had the visual in my head, and it turned out beautifully. A masterpiece, if you will.

Things I used:

• A furry blanket, preferably dark ($3.99 Sally Ann)

• An orange pillow case ($1 Sally Ann)

• A brown tank top ($2.99 Sally Ann)

• An old black mini skirt

• An old pair of Uggz boots (not real Uggz - I'm too poor for that)

• A big wooden stick, courtesy of my back yard

• Hot glue & hot glue gun

• Sewing needle & black thread

• A few buttons I took off of my sweater

And that's it! It was super affordable, although it was time-consuming. However I did it with minimal skill. I can't sew to save my life. Thankfully with the hot glue gun and dark fabric it was easily passed as good craftsmanship.

Basically I just glued a bunch of crap together, and did my best to fit it to my body.

Included in the cosplay costume:

• A headdress equipped with ears

• Forearm cuffs

• Top

• Furry skirt

• Furry boots

• Furry satchel 

• Wooden slingshot

• Wooden spear

And if you don't think this costume is awesome, then ... go elsewhere because I don't want your negative Nancy-ness wearing off on me. I worked hard and I am proud. It has dutifully inspired me to create more SW costumes! I can't wait for the next!
