DIY Beast Costume

How to Make Beauty and Beast Costume

This costume is another easy Disney Prince costume that can be sized up to adults or down for a toddler Beast costume. It can be no-sew if you like, although I did make a few stitches in my version. Here’s what you need to make your own DIY Beauty and the Beast Costume.

DIY Beast Costume Materials:

• Blue blazer
• Gold duct tape
• Fancy white shirt
• White t-shirt
• Black pants
• Gold button
• White pipe cleaner

I thrifted everything we didn’t have already on hand at home including the most important piece to this easy DIY costume, the blue blazer. I found this petite jacket in the women’s section, it was perfect with gold button accents.

DIY Beast Costume Jacket

I unbuttoned the jacket and pinned the top half open. Then covered the jacket edges in gold duct tape. I added gold duct tape to the jacket pockets for extra detail.

The jacket needed white flowing cuffs, so I found a shirt with great cuffs at my local thrift store. I did a rough cut and added them with a few basic stitches. You could use hem tape here or hot glue if you really want to avoid a little thread and needle action

My blazer came with gold buttons; if yours doesn’t you can replace the buttons or just cover them with gold duct tape.

DIY Beast Costume Cravat

Utilizing more of the fancy shirt, I cut a large section of the material to create the cravat. I slipped a gold button through a pipe cleaner and used it to tie the cravat around the middle.  

Then I sewed the cravat to the top edge of a white t-shirt. Again you could use a glue gun here but a couple of quick stitches worked well for me.

DIY Beast Costume Pants

Track pants are my favorite starting point for a prince costume. The material is a little shiny and thin which is good for a costume and it’s easy to add fancy trim or in this case gold duct tape down the side to make the pants “princely.”

Beauty and the Beast Costumes: Mask

The final piece is the Beast mask. I found some adorable Beast masks on Etsy if you want to order something cute. I went with a free printable Beast mask I found online, printed on card stock.

The Beast is not given a name in the animated movie but is considered one of the Disney princes and is called Prince Adam later on in other sanctioned Disney things like a video game and portraits of him in Disney World Port Orleans Riverside royal rooms.
