Dress Up Clothes Box

By Noreen Leave a Comment




A dress up clothes box is a great idea for stimulating a child’s imagination.

Fill the box with finery: frothy, lacy dresses, hats, gloves, shoes, neckties and furs or boas.

Don’t forget to add jewelry with lots of glitter.

An old suitcase redecorated is a great storage place for a dress up clothes box.

Here are more ideas for costumes to add to the box.

Knight Helmet

Make this knight helmet with craft foam and gold and silver paint.

Knight Armor Paint black foam withgold and silver to make this clever knight armor.

For great sword making ideas, scroll down on this page.

Renaissance Head Band

Use tulle and ribbons to make this fun and colorful Renaissance head band.

Wool Felt Crown

A wool felt crown would make a great addition to the dress up box. A cloak would go well with it, and lots of sparkly jewelry.

Treasure Chest from Diaper Box

Make this treasure chest from a diaper box, and when your kids are through playing with it, they can store all their dress up gear inside it.

Bank Robber Money Bag

This bank robber money bag is a fun idea for playing “cops and robbers”. Stitch it and then add some play money and fake jewelry.

The fake jewelry could also be used in the pirate’s treasure chest, or by little girls with their gowns.

Button Rings

Use buttons and ring blanks to make fun button rings. Make a bunch for the dress up box.

Buy or make a bag to carry the spy equipment. For a spy kid spy kit you will need a magnifying glass, flashlight, small camera (real or not, but preferably an old real one), string, pen, and materials for disguises.
