The Lion King Costume Series: Hyenas

Mom Life

Coming at you with another fun and EASY DIY project for your little ones!

Thanks to Primary.Com for providing the clothes I needed for all these projects! I received these items free but that does not sway my opinion of them! I’m always going to be honest with you guys!

I decided that even though I couldn’t make all 3 hyenas, two would be just as cute. I love the hyenas even though they are “bad” and while I haven’t seen the new Lion King yet, I’ve heard they are pretty great in that too.

These costumes turned out SO cute. They would be so fun for Halloween or even a dress up party!

Here’s what you need to make a hyena costume:

For this project I used the Zip Romper in Slate Gray from Primary.com.

Take 25% off your first order with the code AYANA.

You don’t need much at all! I added a tuft of faux fur after these were all made for a tail and it was a great addition! I’d definitely recommend adding a tail for effect. I went with a textured grey color felt for depth and I think it was a pretty solid choice!

You will also need a small amount of black felt for the ears. You can also add some black socks or shoes for the feet! We used black socks we found for $1.67/2 at Walmart!

I really just eyeballed the ears and cut them out. If it works for you to do the same, I would advise just going to Google and pulling up a photo of the hyenas for reference.

I cut the shape of the ears out in black first then I cut out the same size in grey and just trimmed some off all around the grey to make it the same shape, slightly smaller.

I added chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to the headband and hot glued the felt to the stems and headband. You may be able to skip that step but I wanted the ears to stand up and it seems to work well for that!

I used two sheets of grey felt to cut out some spots and then I evenly distributed them between the two sleepers. You can probably get by with one sheet of felt for one costume.

I use fabric glue for this project. I would NOT recommend hot glue. You may think “Duh, who would recommend that?” but I used hot glue at Halloween for Finley’s Pokemon costumes and they became stiff and impossible to put on her! She got MAD when I tried!

Using fabric glue keeps everything flexible AND washable. I’m not sure how the fur will wash though so I would advise hand washing your costumes when you’re done!

I intended for Finley to be “Ed” which is why her ears have the tuft of fur on top. I think these ears are my FAVORITE thing I’ve made for this series so far. The crooked ear and tuft of fur are the cutest combo!

For the crooked ear, I just made the ears like normal and then bent the pipe cleaners over to the shape I wanted. Easy peasy!

Catch me outside starting seeds and planning out my flower bed in my fancy new gardening overalls that I bought off a targeted Facebook ad for @duluthtradingcompany 😂😂. I don't usually buy clothes for myself and especially not when it's over $50 😅 but this is WORTH IT.  It's got so many pockets and it's so comfy and it's definitely my new weekend uniform for the foreseeable future.🌸🏵💐🌿🌻

I love taking allllll the photos when we go camping- it helps me remember all the sweet moments and eventually I forget the stressful bits, or setting up camp and breaking it down by myself, or whining and complaining 😅. I'm trying to get the kids more used to helping with the setup but it's not without a bit of "mooOooMm whyyyy" from them 🙄😂.

Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily a Do you drink ACV?? I started drinking this daily after I heard a woman on the podcast I listen to (Solo cleaning school) say she drank this every day and never got sick. I know the odds are against me with 2 kids, but I've heard so many good things about Apple cider vinegar, I'm trying it! So far so good! It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I'm doing that's making me feel good- working out, vitamins, water, ACV, etc, but I'm sure it's a solid combo of a few of those 😝. Self care is fun!
