Paper bag safari vest tutorial.

5 comments:

This is awesome! I made these with my class last year and I'm trying to find ways to improve the one I put together. Good idea with using leftover scraps as a pocket. I love it.

Awesome! I'm so glad you found it helpful!

Very cool. I'm going to try them at this year's Vacation Bible School where the theme is "Jungle Safari".

That's wonderful!! I love the whole safari theme! I also have a tutorial on how to make some simple inexpensive paper vines that you might want to check out!

Paper Bags Your work here on this blog has been top notch from day 1. You've been continously providing amazing articles for us all to read and I just hope that you keep it going on in the future as well. Cheers!

Exciting Safari Crafts

If you’re looking for exciting safari crafts to make, these will set you up perfectly. Whisk your kids away to magical Africa where they can don safari gear and explore the safari parks, ready to see the wildlife in its natural habitat. With their wearable gear ready, they could take to the backyard to spot wildlife or draw typical wildlife they would see on a safari, like elephants, giraffes, and hippos.

Safari Vest

Supplies you’ll need

• Grocery-sized paper bag
• Pale pink paper or card

Step-by-step tutorial

• Lay your paper bag down on a flat surface with the bottom end pointing up.
• Draw your vest outline on the paper bag with a pencil. Start by drawing the armholes which will begin at the top corners of the bag, come in slightly, and then go back to the edge of the bag. It should cover about 5 inches from the top pencil mark to the bottom. You can make these larger or smaller depending on whether kids are wearing jumpers etc.
• Now you will draw the neckline and front of the vest which will open up. Back at the top of the bag, measure 4 inches from the top left across and draw a slightly curved line down so it meets in the middle of the bag, and then continue the line straight down until it hits the bottom.
• Create a mirror image from the right-hand side and when the line meets the top of the line in the middle you can stop. It will share the same line as the other side so there is just one.
• Flip the bag over, keeping the closed end at the top. Now you want to draw your neckline at the back. Folding the top of the bag toward you slightly, draw a line where you see the neck markings on the front side of the vest. Connect your two lines at the back by drawing a large semi-circle.
• Now you can cut out your vest using scissors. Cut the armholes first. Then cut up the line running up the front middle of the vest. Start cutting from the bottom and follow the line up then around one side where it curves to form the neck. Then cut the other side of the neck hole.
• Flip the vest over and cut out the neck hole at the back.
• Take your pink paper/card and draw 7 rectangles in the following sizes (width x height) and (quantity): 5 in x 4 in (1) / 4 in x 4 in (2) / 2 in x 3 in (4). These will be your safari vest pockets. Cut out these rectangles.
• Draw stitching around the edge of the pockets and draw the flap by making little dots or dashes using the black pen. Draw 1 button on the smallest pockets (above the “flap”) and 2 on the larger ones.
• Draw 2 thin rectangles on your pink card 5 in x ½ in. These will be zippers that you can place on the jacket. Cut out your rectangles and then using your black pen, make stitching all around the edges of the card. Then make lots of vertical lines moving across the rectangle, like a zipper pattern. Then draw the zipper pull at one end.
• Now you can assemble your vest. Grab your glue and arrange the pockets on the front of the vest. Place the largest pocket at the bottom right. Glue two of the smallest next to each other on the opposite side. Fix the other two small pockets to the top of the vest, and add your remaining pockets and zippers where you like in between.

Your safari vest is now ready for action. If you have a small child (and a very big bag!), you can leave the middle line on the front of the vest just with a pen outline and don’t cut it (essentially making a sack or t-shirt). You would just cut the armholes and neck hole.

• Paint (beige or green)
• Newspaper or an old sheet
• Black ribbon or thick string
• Choose your workspace and lay down some old newspaper or an old sheet to cover the worktop or floor.
• Grab your paper bowl and fold the edges so they face downward instead of up.
• Paint the outside of the bowl in a khaki-themed color (green or beige tones). Let it dry.
• When the paint has dried, punch one hole on opposite sides of the bowl.
• Take your ribbon and measure it so it can wrap around the hatband/trim area of the hat 1.5 times and then calculate enough extra to go under your child’s chin. Cut the ribbon.
• Thread one piece of the ribbon through the hole from the top downward. Pull enough down so it can easily fit under your child’s chin and tie to the other end when you pull that through.
• Get your glue and squeeze some out around the hatband/trim area. Starting on the side of the hat where you thread the ribbon through, take the ribbon and wrap it around the full circumference.
• You are going to continue to wrap the ribbon around halfway again. Before you do so, add more glue in the same direction you will be laying the ribbon. Take the ribbon and place it on the glue until you meet the other hole that you made. Gently press down on the ribbon that is glued to the top. Let the glue dry.
• When the glue is dry and the ribbon is stuck to the hat, thread the ribbon through the hole on the other side. You will now have two pieces of ribbon hanging down under the inside rim of the hat. Your hat is ready to use.

Place it on your child’s head and tie the two ends of the ribbon together to fasten it so it doesn’t fall off. Alternatively, you can just tie it loosely or leave it hanging as decoration if they don’t want it tight.

Safari Binoculars

• 2 x empty bathroom tissue rolls
• Paints in black, dark green, light green, and yellow
• Paintbrushes
• Scissors or hole punch
• Thin black ribbon or thick round string
• Paint your tissue rolls in camouflage print, leaving ½ inch blank at both ends which you will paint black. With dark green, light green, and yellow paints, make thick swirls around each other until the rolls are covered (except for the ends). Paint ½ inch of black around each end and leave them to dry.
• Once dry, glue the rolls together down the middle.
• While the glue dries, prepare your ribbon or string. Cut a 16-inch piece off.
• Make a hole – for the ribbon – on each of the tissue rolls which will act as the neck strap. On the outside rim at the back (choose either end as long as you use the same for both holes) make a small hole with a hole punch or scissors.
• Thread your ribbon through and tie it off on itself. Your binoculars are ready for use.

If you want to make this craft faster, you can paint the rolls all in black and skip the colors.

25 Completely Free Vest Patterns and Tutorials

A vest is one of the easiest and most accessible clothing items to sew. At its simplest, it can be just three pieces and four straight lines, a project that’s perfect for a beginner.

But because it’s so simple, a vest is also fun to embellish and re-engineer to suit your own specific purpose. A vest can be fancy and formal (think about a custom, tailored waistcoat, perhaps hand-embroidered), strictly utilitarian (imagine the ultimate fishing vest, with pockets custom cut for every kind of important little piece of gear), or utterly imaginative (one word: cosplay!).

Below, check out my list of my all-time favorite vest patterns and tutorials. They’re all completely free and suitable for beginning to advanced sewers. Get inspired and get sewing!

1. Copy An Existing Vest

Sometimes you don’t need a brand-new vest pattern to follow–sometimes, all you need to do is copy a favorite vest that you already own . It’s a relatively straightforward process, but in this tutorial, I let you in on a few secret tips and tricks that make the project even easier.

2. Add A Lining To A Vest

Here’s how to add a lining to most of these vest patterns and tutorials.

3. Dress Shirt To Vest

Start with an oversized dress shirt and cut it and shape it until it’s a perfectly fitted, lovely vest!

4. Cape Vest

This tutorial results in a vest that is very roomy and forgiving and is also very warm.

5. Child’s Felt Vest

https://www.instagram.com/p/BU4tGAKBlJ2/

Vests are a great addition to a kid’s dress-up collection and felt vests are super easy to sew . Embellish them in any number of ways and outfit all your kiddo’s dreams!

6. Child’s Five-Button Vest

Because every kid needs a formal vest !

7. Chunky Knit Fabric Vest

Use something very heavy for this tutorial –think wool blanket–and you’ll stay toasty all fall and winter.

8. Cooling Vest

Did you know that cooling vests exist? They make hot days much more comfortable, and you can DIY one with this tutorial !

9. Dress Shirt To Vest

10. easy quilted vest.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCvEvbfkZpq/

Want to know the easiest way to make a quilted vest? Start with pre-quilted fabric !

11. Faux Fur-Embellished Sweater Vest

Start with a thrifted sweater vest , then learn how to embellish it with faux fur trim.

12. Freebie Vest P attern

Patterns for Pirates is one of my all-time favorite sewing pattern companies, and their freebies are just as good as their other patterns. Make this vest , and then make their leggings to go with it!

13. Hoodie Vest

This tutorial is actually two patterns in one! Learn to make a vest AND learn to make a hoodie, and you’ll never be cold again.

14. Hooded Vest From Fleece

This hooded vest is very different in style from the one above. Which style is your favorite?

15. Hunting Vest

This tutorial does call for the use of a dress shirt pattern to modify, but it’s also got all the details for all the handy little pockets and carriers that you’d want in a hunting vest. If you can’t source a dress shirt pattern, I think it’s worth modifying an existing vest or dress shirt with these embellishments.

16. No-Sew Knit Vest

Remember when I said that you only had to sew four straight lines in order to make a vest? Clearly, I hadn’t yet considered THIS vest , which requires no sewing at all! It does call for a rather large single piece of jersey knit fabric, so if you don’t mind sewing or want a little more variety, you can always piece together smaller pieces of fabric to start this project with.

17. Fringed Vest

https://www.instagram.com/p/BSbHCiWAY7h/

Here’s an interesting vest pattern for a suede-like fabric. Feel free to experiment with other fabrics, but if you do, don’t forget to treat the raw edges so that they don’t fray.

18. No-Sew Lace-Up Vest

Jersey knit fabric is once again the hero here. This vest is especially fun because instead of buttons, you get laces!

19. Paper Bag Safari Vest

Do you have a little explorer? If you do, here’s the perfect little explorer vest to make !

20. Jeans To Waistcoat

You can upcycle jeans into ANYTHING. Here, they turn into a cute waistcoat !

21. Easy Faux Fur Vest

https://www.instagram.com/p/BK_UTGFg_Ps/

This simple DIY pattern allows all of the focus to be placed where it belongs–on the fabulous faux fur! With some resourcefulness, it’s possible to upcycle the faux fur for this vest from other sources; check out the local thrift stores, or ask friends and family if they have any old faux fur blankets, throws, decorative rugs, or even coats that you can re-use.

22. Patagonia-Style Vest

Yes, you actually CAN make yourself one of those puffy vests ! The secret? Puffy fabric for the win!

23. Reversible Waistcoat

I’m a sucker for anything that’s reversible –I love the two-for-one concept, and it doubles my de-stashing!

24. Scarf To Vest

If you have a wide scarf that you never wear, here’s how to transform it into a much more convenient vest .

25. Sweater To Ruffled Vest

I love that even though this is a refashion, there’s more to it than just “cut off the sleeves and chop the sweater down the middle.” Instead, you learn how to add cute ruffles and a tie front to your sweater-to-vest makeover .

Friday Fun: Paper Bag Vest Tutorial

Jun 3, 2011 | 4 comments

As my son would say, this is “EASY PEASY!”

The boys are always wanting to play dress-up, and the paper bag vest is a simple way to make a “costume” for many of the roles they dream up!

Big J is obsessed with being a tiger right now, so that was our goal with this project on this particular day.

What do you need for the basic vest?

Yep. Just a paper bag and scissors! The Trader Joe’s bags are a little smaller than most grocery store bags and fit my 3yo and 5yo just perfect. Pick your bag accordingly!

Now let’s get to work…

Cut straight up the middle of one broad side of the bag.

Next, cut an opening for the head and neck at the bottom of the bag.

The size of this opening will depend on the size of your child and it doesn’t have to be perfectly round, but remember to center the hole so it sits nicely on your child!

Arm holes are next. Cut one on each side of the bag {obviously!} and make them big enough for your child to move his/her arms easily!

All of the folds in the paper bag are great for finding the center of panels and such!

The top of these arm openings should be 1/2″ to 1″ from the bottom of the bag. {The bottom of the bag which will be the top of the vest – do I have you confused yet?!}

A front opening, a head opening, two arm openings and…

That’s it! The basic vest is done! Wasn’t that easy peasy?

Now comes the fun – decorating it!

We attempted to paint Big J’s vest orange…

but our paint just wasn’t cutting it on the paper bag…

so we went with gluing on orange construction paper.

Stripes were added and…

We have ourselves a tiger! {He was very proud that he helped make it, if you couldn’t tell!}

**This basic vest would be great to make into a cowboy vest, a spaceman suit {with foil and buttons and the like}, a bird {with lots of feathers glued on} or anything else your creative little ones can dream up!**

They’re not fancy, but these paper bag vests are easy and inexpensive enough to keep up with the ever-changing imaginations of our boys!

Hope you’re doing something fun this Friday! Have a wonderful weekend as well!

Oh my goodness! Love the tiger! I have never seen one of these imagined into a tiger, that is so cool. Now go find some dinner on the African savannah 🙂

p.s. He’s a cutie pie!

I love this! Our boys love to play pretend and this is a great idea that they can help with!!!! Woo Hoo! Gotta get me some brown paper bags!!! 😀

By the way your tiger is adorable!!!! 😀

Easy to Make Safari Costume

Whether you want to dress like a big-game hunter or a traveler on a camera safari, you can assemble an easy, no-sew safari costume from clothing you already own. When it's time to accessorize the costume, look for safari-style gear at sporting-goods, military-supply and thrift stores. As you assemble your costume, keep the color palette neutral. Real safari-goers know that khaki and beige blend in with the colors of the savanna and hide them from the local wildlife.

Pants, Socks and Boots

Video of the Day

If you have a pair of khakis in your closet, you have the foundation for an easy safari costume. Casual khaki pants do the job, but khaki-colored cargo pants or shorts look even more at home on the African plain. Their pockets give you plenty of storage for props and personal gear. Sturdy boots are also a necessity. If you're dressing like a modern-day safari guide, tuck your pants into a pair of lace-up hiking boots. Wear a pair of long white or neutral-colored socks with your boots if you use shorts for your costume. To create a safari costume with an old-fashioned feel, tuck khaki pants into knee-high leather boots so they look like jodhpurs.

Shirt, Vest and Jacket

For the top half of your costume, choose pieces that mimic the look of safari wear. If you own or can borrow a hunting or fishing vest, wear it over a white or beige button-down cotton shirt. You can also substitute a khaki jacket from a thrift store for the vest. To create classic safari style, wear a long, buttoned khaki shirt with pockets, and let the hem hang over your pants. If you want to create a layered look, wear a T-shirt under the buttoned shirt. Stick to white and neutral colors for the T-shirt. On a real safari, black or bright colors would attract wildlife and pesky insects.

Safari Accessories

A safari guide's accessories are more about function than fashion. A hat provides protection from the savanna's sun and heat. Wear a replica pith helmet from a costume store or substitute another wide-brimmed hat, such as a leather cowboy hat, a khaki-colored rain hat or a straw gardening hat. Tie a neutral-colored cotton scarf or bandanna around your neck to shield your skin from dust and the sun. Wear a utility belt made from leather or nylon webbing to hold your gear. If your shirt is tucked into your pants or shorts, thread the belt through the belt loops. If you wear a long shirt that hangs outside your pants, cinch the belt around your waist over the shirt.

Safari Gear

The savanna can be a dangerous place, and a safari-goer must be prepared for every eventuality. Wear binoculars around your neck so you can watch out for approaching animals. Water is scarce on the plains; carry a canteen on your utility belt. Rope can get you out of all sorts of safari snafus. Sling a coil of hemp rope over your shoulder or hang it from your belt. If you have old maps, roll them up and tuck them into your pockets or a small canvas backpack. Put the compartments of your cargo pants and utility belt to work and fill them with small safari essentials, such as a compass, flashlight and pocket knife.
