Angry Birds Costume TutorialToday I am sharing this Angry Birds costume tutorial that is complete with free patterns! I freaking love how these costumes turned out.  I have been working very hard to bring you the complete tutorial before Halloween this year so that perhaps you can make your very own Angry Birds costume for the family.

A few things to note:

Beware this post has lots of photos.
I jump from metric to imperial measurements all the time ~ sorry!
The Green Pig is sized for my husband {mens large}
The Red Bird is sized for myself {womens large}
The Black Bird is a child size 6
The Blue Bird is a child size 4
The Yellow Bird is a child size 3

**If your costume is fitting too small try adding side and shoulder paneling in a coordinating felt colour.  Simply cut pieces of fabric {approx. 6″x8″ for the sides and 4″x4″ for the shoulders on the adult costumes} and sew them into place where the sewing lines are in Step 9 of the green pig.**

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

Materials (aff links):

Felt is a material that I find easy to work with and comes in a wide variety of colours.  It is used mostly for crafts and not generally recommended to be put in the washer or dryer.  You could substitute a heavy cotton or muslin.  The bolt of felt I used was 70″ wide.
 
1 1/2 meters of green & red felt
1 meter of blue, black & yellow felt
1/2 meter of white felt
 
10 meters of broadcloth {an inexpensive, lightweight cotton}
1 sheet of craft felt {found at a craft or dollar store} in these colours: orange, brown, light green, dark green and grey.
6 meters of quilt batting
1 large bag of poly fil
Black fabric paint or fabric marker
Black head band {for pig crown}
Scissors
Thread
Hot Glue Gun
Glue sticks
Pins
Measuring tape
 

How to make a Green Pig costume:

 
ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

Green Pig

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

1.  Fold the felt into quarters and measure 16″ from the center fold.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

2.  Cut a curve along your measurements to create a circle when unfolded.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

3.  Your circle should measure 32″ in diameter {repeat these steps so that you have two 32″ green circles}

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

4.  Cut two 32″ circles out of cotton and cut your features out of felt.  Go here, here, here and here for the patterns. 

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

5.  Lay one green circle and one cotton circle, right sides together.  Top with a circle of quilt batting and pin together.  The quilt batting is used in the adult costumes to provided added support to the upper portion and a smoother, less bumpy look to the finished costume.  Sew together using a 1/4″ seam allowance.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

6.  Be sure to leave a 4-6″ hole while sewing so that you can invert the piece, right sides out. 

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

7.  Repeat steps 5 & 6 so that you have two stuffed circles.  These are the back and front of the pig.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

8.  Pin the back and the front together.  At this point I had Darcy try it on so that I could get the placement of his head and arms right. 

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

9.  Here is an example of where you are going to sew the back and front together {black lines = sew here}.  The best way to get a good fit is to have your wearer try it on.  Sew the ear pieces from the pattern together and stuff them with batting.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

10.  Sew the front and back of the pig together, right sides facing, 1/4″ seam, along the black lines in step 9.  Don’t forget to sew the ears into the shoulder seam.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

11.  Invert the pig so the right sides are facing out.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

12.  Stuff the front and the back of the pig with pillow stuffing.  I really played with the fullness and amount of stuffing.  Stuff it then try it on to see if it is full enough for you.  Sew or hot glue the hole closed.

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

13.  Hot glue gun the features to the front of the pig.

 

ANGRY BIRDS ~ Costume Tutorial and Patterns

14.  Outline the features with fabric markers or paint {paint actually worked better for me}.

15.  Sew the crown together and stuff it with batting.

16.  Wrap the end of the crown around a head band.

    These are so great! I’m curious — do you know how wide your felt was off the bolt? The fabric store I use says it is 72 inches wide, so if your bolt is smaller I don’t want to end up with an insane amount of felt. :o)

I can’t seem to get your templates to print to full page size. I ended up copying/pasting into Word to enlarge them. Just sharing in case anyone else has the same trouble.

    From what I can see, you didn’t list what exactly the crown part is and where to get it. Did I miss that part? I’m talkingn about the little circular black, pokey thing in the picture. 🙂 Which costume does that go with? I don’t play enough to know, but my son sure is excited that we are all going to be angry birds. My mother-in-law and are I making them this weekend. Thank you for the detailed tutorial. These are awesome! Wish me luck!

    Thank you for this tutorial, it was exactly what I needed! My boyfriend’s 10 y.o. son had his heart set on being a red bird, but we weren’t keen on spending $60 at the costume shop. I knew I could make the costume if I had a pattern, but I’m not very good at figuring out how to create a sewing project on my own.

    For a (U.S.) size 14 boy I cut the circles 14″ from the center fold, in case any of your readers are working with that size and can use the reference.

    My friend’s 4 y.o. son wanted to be the bomb bird for Halloween, but she didn’t want to spend the $$$ for a costume he may only wear once. She asked if I could make him one, and I stumbled upon this blog. Thanks so much! And after Halloween, the costume could easily be converted into a cute little pillow as one reader said before. Can’t wait to finish it and get pics of him! I’ll send some your way ^_^

    Thank you so much, I used your tutorial to make the bird and pig for my 3 year old and 1 year old and they came out great. It was my first time sewing and I couldn’t have made them without your tutorial. My 3 year old is so excited to be an angry bird and I’m proud to have made their costumes. Thank you!!!

    Thanks for the excellent instructions. We did not use glue…we sewed everything on. We made the Red Bird and we used your basic instructions to make a White Egg dropping bird. The costumes were a BIG hit!

    My 6-yo wanted to be a black bird but Angry Bird costumes were sold out everywhere. So I found your instructions and borrowed a sewing machine – they were so easy to follow that I actually did it! My daughter wanted the costume to cover her head with her face sticking out, so I adjusted the measurements slightly and cut a hole for her face above the bird’s face. She is thrilled and was a hit at school this morning! Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial. I made the black bird for my 7 year old, the red bird for my 3 year old and the pig crown for myself. I improvised a pig’s nose. The boys loved their costumes and got so many compliments on them last night. My youngest loved his so much, he insisted on sleeping in it last night. Ha. Thanks again!

    thanks again for this great tutorial. My daughter’s red angry bird costume was a total hit at her school parade, as well as in the neighborhood. I made her a red head band to go with the costume.

    Great tutorial! I just bought all of the materials to make three birds. My question is did you paint the fabric paint on with a brush or did you draw paint on using a tipped bottle?

    I outlined the features with puffy fabric paint from a bottle. I painted the grey section of the bomb bird with grey acrylic paint and a brush 🙂

    ready to do the black bomb for my grandson. Did I miss it, or is there not a scale of the size on the features patterns somewhere?

    Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this awesome tutorial! I followed your directions and made all five (original) birds – one for each member of my family. Oh, except I had to make the red bird a girl for my one daughter. Your tutorial was very clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate you taking the time to get all of this on-line!!

    Thanks so much for the tutorial. It was easy and easy to adapt to other sizes as well. The kids love their costumes so much they want to sleep in them at night. And they were warm and cozy enough to go trick or treating outside here in Canada! Cathryn

    I used this tutorial 3 years ago to make my son an Angry Bird Pig. He loved it so much that he still uses it as a big pillow today!! Anyway – I’m glad this is still up, because my daughter wants to be a baseball this year and I think I can totally re-purpose this pattern! Thanks!
