WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE MATERIALS TO MAKE THIS DIY M&M COSTUME?

This costume is so great to create as you can easily be any colour of M&M and you may already have a shirt that you can easily use for this! If you don’t have an M&M coloured shirt, you can also just purchase shirts from online retailers like Amazon or at a craft or dollar store!

Michael’s is a great craft store to purchase from because they have a whole section with different coloured blank t-shirts! I really like the oversized shirts as they are so comfy but you can use any shirt style or even a dress!

Aside from the shirts, all you’ll need is white felt sheets, scissors and fabric tape which again can all be purchased from a craft or dollar store.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?

You will need a bit of craft skills for this DIY costume! With cutting felt sheets, it’s always an excellent idea to have a sharp pair of scissors as cutting fabric is a bit tough and it just makes your life so much easier! Once I discovered fabric tape for my DIY projects a few years back, it has literally changed my life! I love that using fabric tape does not harm any of my clothing and it’s super easy to use and holds up well!

Aside from the tape and scissors, you don’t need anything else and we love simple DIY’s! This costume gives high energy, low effort because you can show that you are creative but doesn’t require a lot of steps or money to complete!

CAN I SUBSTITUTE ANY MATERIALS OUT?

You sure can substitute or add any materials out! If you want to get really funky with it, you can add more coloured accessories like bows, headbands, arm bands etc! I always like keeping my DIYs really simple and letting people exercise their imagination as well!

I use white felt sheets for this costume but if you have a cricut, vinyl is great to use or even an iron on patch if you can create it! if you don’t want to reuse your shirt, you can also do an iron-on transfer! Like I mentioned earlier, I like oversized shirts but you can also do tighter shirts or dresses!

DOES THE COSTUME LAST TO USE FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS?

Yes! Fabric tape is so durable and the quality makes it so long-lasting that you can most definitely use this costume in years to come! Luckily as well, it’s so easy to put together that if your M does get damaged, you can easily cut another one out!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUT TOGETHER?

Okay, if you’re not the best at cutting like me, it might take a little bit longer haha but other than the cutting of the M and the placing of the fabric tape on the M, there are no other DIY crafty tasks to do! It takes a total of about 15-20 mins from the time you cut and the time you put the costume on yourself which is so great timewise! You can easily put this together the evening before!

INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS COSTUME?

I was trying to figure out what kind of easy DIY costumes I wanted to create and was scrolling Pinterest and saw so many cute variations of M&M’s and knew that it would be super easy to create this and wanted to try it out as well!

I really love this costume as an excellent idea for a low-key group costume! I just think that it would look absolutely cute and easy to do! My favorite low effort DIY costume to date!
