How To Make A Raven Costume

Making the raven costume is simple in theory but requires a bit of work.

The most important feature of the raven costume is the black feather.

The more of your body that you are able to cover with them the better your raven costume will be.

Martha Stewart has some very detailed instruction on how to make a simple raven costume without needing to do any sowing.

Her costume consists of a feather bib, puff, feather wrist bands, long black nails and a beak.

See detailed instructions here.
Then of course there is the option of going all out and really trying to go feather crazy.

You can try and put together a crow costume like Heidi Klum. Here she is dressed up in a scary black crow outfit. 

How can you make such a costume?

Simple, take any fitted black shirt and cover it with black feathers.
If you can use a turtle neck that would be even better.

Start from the top and using a hot glue gun attach the feathers in a upright position all around the shirt.

Using a feather fringe will make it even easier. 


The feathers at the top should be covering the area of the neck above the shirt.

Each feather should be glued just right to cover the base of the one above it.

Once your shirt is done all you need to do is a blackfeather mask to finish off the job.


Beak and long black nails are an added bonus.


Let us know how it comes out!
