How to Make a Baby Game Boy Costume

I you’ve been hanging out on C.R.A.F.T. for any amount of time, you’re likely aware of my love for DIY costumes! This easy, no sew baby Game Boy costume is one of 6 costumes I made for my son for his first Halloween. Here are 5 more easy DIY baby costumes:

And the 6th costume is his DIY Gameboy baby costume. I mean, look at my sweet baby Tetris! As a baby of the 80’s, I loved my big red Game Boy and Tetris was my absolute fave!

Here’s what you need to make this DIY baby costume

White onesie
Sheets of colored felt (This is the perfect pack!)
Fabric glue (or sewing machine)
Fabric scissors
A brown bag (or something else to slide inside the onesie while gluing)

How to make a DIY Baby Game Boy Costume

Word to the wise, let the fabric glue dry completely! Also, I do not recommend washing this costume in the washing machine. If you’re using fabric glue, this onesie will only last the night. Sewing it all done would be easy and make the costume last a whole heck of a lot longer.

Step 1- Cut felt pieces

First, cut out all of the felt pieces. Here’s what you need:

Grey screen
White square
5 Game Boy Buttons
Colored squares to form the Tetris shapes

Step 2- Glue Tetris pieces

I glued all of the colored square pieces to the white “Tetris screen” square first. Let it dry completely.

Step 3- Glue to Onesie

Insert a brown paper lunch bag or a peice of a card board box into the onesie. This is so you don’t glue the front and back of onesie together. Glue the grey “Tetris screen” screen to the oneisie and then glue the white square centered on that.

Step 4- Add baby!

Here’s the finished onesie minus the cute baby!
