It really made the costume go from ordinary to extraordinary. People loved Elias's Bowser costume, especially the shell. Making the spikes is a bit tedious, but it is an easy project overall. Then, I wrapped the filled circle around the edge of the backpack, hot gluing it to the backpack shell. You could pin it if you didn’t want to sew. Then I turned the tube the proper way, filled it with fill, put one end inside the other and sewed it shut. I sewed the seam inside out, but if you don’t have a sewing machine you could easily use stitch witchery. I cut the felt to make a tube to go around the backpack. Now, the hardest part of making this costume is the white edge of Bowser’s shell – and it wasn't that hard. Then I glued the orange spiked circle on the backpack. Then I slipped the cone in the circle and glued the edge of the white to the backside of the circle. I then cut white felt cones using this tutorial. This enables you to not have to sew the cones on – hooray! I cut a circle out of the center of each circle to slip the cone through. An adult could fit more, or you could make them smaller. I cut seven because that is what fit well on the backpack. I then cut enough felt to cover the back, only because I didn’t want there to be any black from the backpack showing. I then hot glued it tightly to the backpack. I covered the front first, making sure to wrap the covering to the back, and pinning it in place. You do not want to cover the backpack first because it will expand when it is filled. Make sure the straps are a solid neutral color. It’s the perfect time of year for that – mine was a plain, $2 black backpack from Walmart. I recommend looking for a cheap backpack on clearance. To make the shell, first fill the backpack with fill. White felt (three sheets for cones + 1 yard) Orange felt (two small sheets should be enough) Bowser Shell Costume Suppliesĭark green felt (enough to cover the backpack all the way around) Hopefully the detail shots will make it easy for you to see. I'm sorry I don't have a ton of process photos, but that is because I made this mostly at night. I have provided modifications if you are not a sewer. This shell came together very quickly and requires the tiniest bit of sewing. I am not an advanced seamstress and didn’t want to invest the amount of time some other shells clearly required. I ended up developing my own after not finding what I was looking for. I researched A LOT of DIY Bowser shell tutorials and photos including this one, this one, and this one. It’s small and pales in comparison with the giant shell that Bowser is known for. I decided for my son Elias to buy the Bowser costume and headpiece, (we bought the adult head for my nine-year-old because the child one was very small and the costume came with a pretty uncomfortable plastic mask) but DIY the shell because the shell that comes with the costume is absolutely terrible. If your child wants to be Bowser for Halloween, this DIY shell will make the Bowser costume extra amazing.
