  • Fabric scissors
  • Iron
  • Thread
  • Sewing Machine
  • White long-sleeved T-shirt

  • Brown belt
  • Skin-colored felt
  • Cardboard
  • Yellow construction paper
  • Silver spray paint
  • Gold spray paint
  • Hot glue
  • Brown boots

  1. Step1

  2. Cut a piece of green fabric that is 24 inches wide and 6 yards long. Fold the fabric in half, bringing the shorter edges together to form the tunic.

  3. Step 2

Cut a semi-circle out of the middle of the fold of the tunic to form the collar.

  2. Step 3

    Hem the collar and the edges of the tunic by folding them under 1/4 inch and ironing the fold in place. Fold the edges over 1/4 inch once again and sew the folds in place.

  3. Step 4

  4. Wear the tunic over a white, long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of white pants. Secure it around the waist with a brown belt.

  5. Step 5

    Cut out two triangles of fabric that are each 24 inches long in the middle and 12 inches wide at the base. These will form the hat.

  6. Step 6

Lay the two triangles directly on top of each other, with the right sides of the fabric together. Sew them together along the right and left sides, leaving the bottom open.

  1. Step 7

  2. Hem the bottom of the hat by folding it over 1/4 inch and ironing the fold in place. Fold the fabric 1/4 inch again and sew the folds into place. Turn the hat right side out.

  3. Step 8

  4. Cut out four triangles of skin-colored felt that are each 2 inches wide at the base and 2 inches tall in the middle. These will form the tips of the ears.

  5. Step 9

  6. Place two of the felt triangles on top of each other. Sew the left and right sides together, leaving the bottom open. Repeat this process with the other two felt triangles. Place these on top of your ears.

  7. Step 10

  8. Cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a shield, with one point on the bottom and three points on top. The shield should be 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide.

  9.  

  10. Step 11

    Spray-paint the shield silver. Cut out three triangles from yellow construction paper that are each 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the base. Glue these triangles to the middle of the shield in the Triforce shape. See the “Resources” section for an image of the Triforce.

  11. Step 12

  12. Cut out two rectangles of cardboard that are each 3 inches wide and 12 inches long. Glue the ends of these rectangles to the back of the shield as handles.

  13. Step 13

  14. Cut out a cardboard sword that is 30 inches long and 4 inches wide below the hilt. Spray-paint the hilt gold and the blade silver. Complete the outfit with a pair of brown boots

quite easy to re-create.
