Homemade Michael Jackson Billie Jean Halloween Costume
Many people plan to pay tribute to the one and only King of Pop by dressing up as him in one of his extraordinary costumes this Halloween. There are several costume stores that sell a wide variety of Michael Jackson costumes. However, you can add more weight to its importance by wearing your own homemade Michael Jackson costume.
The materials you need to make your own costume are a black jacket, a black undershirt, black pants, a white glove, and white socks. These can be purchased at your favorite clothing store. You also need several packages of large size glittery silver and black sequins, small size silver sequins, glue, glue stick, and a glue gun found at any craft store. This is how you can make your own homemade Michael Jackson Billie Jean costume:
First step: the jacket
Recreate Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean Jacket by removing the collar portion of the jacket and simply sew the removed portion back together. Then completely cover the jacket in large, sparkly black sequins using a glue stick and glue gun. Stick each of the sequins on the surface of the jacket. Just be careful when handling the glue gun as it can be hot. Large sequins will decrease the time to completely cover the entire jacket with sequins.
Second step: the shirt
Once the jacket is ready, do the same with the black t-shirt. This time, keep the necklace on and use large silver sequins instead of the black ones. Glue each of the sequins onto the black t-shirt. There is no order to follow when placing the sequins on the shirt. As long as it covers the entire shirt, then you’re doing a great job.
Third Step – The Pants
Choose matching black pants that are short for your height, but fit well at the waist. Michael Jackson’s hanging pants are one of his popular trademarks. However, if you have your own black pants that you don’t wear yet, you can cut them shorter and sew the pants underneath.
Fourth step: the one-piece glove and socks
Make your own one-piece sparkly gloves and socks by covering them with tiny silver sequins. Since the sequins are quite small, it can be dangerous to use a glue gun to attach them. Maybe you can use fabric glue and glue them onto the glove and socks. Let them dry overnight before using them to ensure their hold.
Now, put on your black shoes, do your jheri-curl, and do your makeup. Practice his moonwalk dance move and you’ll be ready to become Michael Jackson with your very own homemade Billie Jean Halloween costume. This is an easier homemade costume to make than any other Halloween costume. You can sure pay homage to your favorite pop star with this homemade Billie Jean costume.
