Tips on an Aladdin Costume

An Aladdin costume can be a fun and creative costume idea for any Halloween or costume party. With the exception of the hat, an Aladdin costume can be made from items you may have on hand. This costume is very budget friendly and sure to make a good impression.

Make the hat from scratch.

Aladdin wears a small hat on the crown of his head. You can use an empty sour cream container to make a hat similar to his. Simply measure the container and cut out the amount of fabric you need from a piece of red felt. Next you will super glue the felt to the container. Poke a hole in the top of the container and insert a tassel.

Wear a shirt.

Although Aladdin is typically depicted without a shirt, you may want to wear one. In many places in the United States, Halloween can greet costumed guests with cold weather. Make sure you are warm enough by wearing a white long sleeved shirt.

Carry some fun props.

In order to give your costume dimension, carry some fun props. You can choose to carry an Arabian Knight style sword or you can carry a genie’s lamp. You could also consider carrying a stuffed monkey as Aladdin had a monkey for a friend. Be creative in your choices to help make your costume unique.

Know the story.

It may be helpful to know the backstory of Aladdin. Make sure you've read up on the story of Aladdin. You could also watch the Disney movie to get a general idea of the theme of Aladdin. Knowing the story makes it helpful for you to be in character.
