Someday we’re going to run out of fruit costumes to make (cough: pineapple, strawberry, citrus) but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY! This DIY banana costume is perhaps the easiest costume we’ve ever made!?!? Yep, I think so. GET THEE A YELLOW PENCIL SKIRT!
Supplies Needed
Step-by-Step Banana Costume Tutorial
- Cut out four “peel” shapes from yellow craft foam.
- Use them as a template to trace and cut out the same shapes from your white craft foam.
- Hot glue a yellow peel to a white peel. Repeat with the remaining ones.
- Put on your outfit and literally just tuck the foam peels into your skirt! THAT’S IT!! You can safety pin them for extra security if necessary.

Now that you know how easy it is, isn’t it so aPEELing!? 😉 Sorry. I’m leaving now…
p.s. IF you make a Studio DIY costume, please share with #studiodiyincostume on Instagram! Every year I do a HUGE roundup of all your versions of our costumes that I find there and I’d love to include yours!!

You truly have a gift with creative Halloween costumes. I was just at a Halloween store and was marveling about how your strawberry and pineapple costumes have caught on SO much that even Halloween stores sell them now!

I just heard that this is the last costume of this year!! Nooooo I love seeing your awesome costumes! Happy sad though because that means Halloween is right around the corner! Almost one more week! I love this so much! I am going to be a pineapple this year, and my friend is a watermelon! This would be a perfect addition to the group costume! Seriously loving this.

I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in YEARS, but your costume posts are really making me want to!

Hi! I am curious if the craft foam you have linked is the same that you used? 9×12 feels small/ short for the peel. Thanks!!
Kelly says
Ah! Yes I used a larger size. Amazon may no longer have that size on the listing, but usually you can find locally in craft stores too!
