Pictured here is the very first appearance he had in the series but in later episodes, he was much shorter and slimmer.Ĭharacters are only listed once in the season at which they first appeared.

Use face paints/bronzer to make stubble, and spike their hair up – I used hairspray.Sam Slagheap is one of the more famous minor characters in the Flintstones as he is the Grand Poobah of the prestigious Loyal Order Of Water Buffalos.

If you DO use velcro, use sew in stuff, not stick on velcro because it doesn’t stay in place well enough and is a nightmare to then stitch in place because the glue messes up the needle. I velcroed mine in so I could remove it if it got too awkward for him after the parade but in the end I wish I’d just stitched it in place because I didn’t need to take it out.

Add a cushion to the inside to make a big tummy.

Either use the iron on hemming to seal it all together or stitch your tie up. I added some interfacing I had at the bottom of my box to make it a bit stiffer but you could just as easily cut up a cereal packed and put the card inside your tie shape for strength.

Copying an image of Fred Flintstone’s tie, cut it into a wide tie with a couple of notches removed.

Make sure your material is doubled over for the tie because you’re going to put card/interfacing inside for strength and then seal it up.

Stitch the tie round the neck hole – this not only keeps it in place so your child won’t fidget and remove it, it stops the towel from fraying.

Keep the knot quite large and position it at the bottom of the v neck with the neck of the tie fitting right round the rest of the neck hole. Roll the blue material up and tie it like a regular tie, making sure you leave plenty at the front. Stick these randomly to the costume with fabric glue.

Cut rough right angled triangles out of the black material – make them quite big and with slightly rounded corners.

Cut big triangles out of the bottom to make it all zig zagged and hem them – I was sick of hand stitching towel by this time so I used the iron on hemming which was great and much faster.

Hem them because the towel will fray like mad. Trim any extra material at the shoulders – the costume doesn’t really have sleeves though I left them a bit longer for extra coverage.Leave plenty of space at the arms – this costumes works well baggy and that makes it easier to put on and remove. Then remove it and stick up the sides where you pinned it. Pin it to your child (carefully – they don’t like it when you scratch them with the pins…) making it loose at the front because you’re going to put a cushion there later.Make it round at the back and v neck at the front. Fold the towel in half and cut a neck hole along the fold.Velcro (optional – if using, get the sew on version!).1 small cushion (mine was a cheap one from Ikea – less than £1 I think).I then cut one of the sides so I had one long blue stretch of material.) Enough blue material to make a fat, ragged tie (You can use any material you want but I was keeping costs down recycling so I took a blue top and removed the top part (from the armpits up) which left me with a circle of material.A small amount of black material (I used an old top of mum’s that she doesn’t need now she’s lost 6 stone) Barney Rubble costume for toddlers, kids and adults 5 out of 5 stars (899) 18.40.1 orange towel (I used a £4.99 bath towel from Ikea – not a bath sheet.).

The Wilma Flintstone costume will follow. It was a nuisance that my sewing machine is broken so I had to hand stitch everything but it was all done in a weekend – and as I couldn’t get time to just sit and make it it would probably have been even faster.įor those who are looking for something fun to make for their children, here’s how I made the Fred Flintstone costume. In the end both costumes were incredibly simple and cheap to make. The costumes worked out much better than I could have hoped and (of course -p) they won! In the end, I decided to go with the Flintstones. I wanted something that would let the Monster & the Minx be a pair so that if one won the other got to go on stage too. I knew there would be a fancy dress party at Blue Dolphin for our holiday this year and as I much prefer homemade costumes (plus they’re often cheaper) I put my mind to what to make.
