Ahsoka Child Costume - Perfect For Your Girls Who Love Star Wars

Ahsoka “Snips” Tano is a fictional fourteen-year-old female character in the Star Wars universe. Introduced in 2008’s animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Snips is Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, a failed attempt by Yoda to give Anakin a sense of responsibility. Snips continued to play a large role in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series that furthered the story set forth in the film.

Since the movie’s premiere, Ahsoka has become an extremely popular character, especially with young people. With so few characters providing suitable inspiration for a Star Wars costume that female children could use, there was a need that Ahsoka filled. In addition, the Ahsoka child costume is both distinct and simple, a great combination for a child’s costume.

With the Ahsoka child costume being so popular, officially license versions are prevalent and relatively inexpensive. Even the most elaborate, professionally made Ahsoka child costume are priced below $50. In addition, low-quality mass-produced Halloween-style costumes can be had for far less. However, parents should consider creating the Ahsoka child costume from scratch.

If the parent is proficient sewing, the Ahsoka child costume is simple to assemble, and the required materials are not expensive at all. The two most difficult aspects will be the lightsaber, if it’s made rather than bought, and the headpiece. Ahsoka’s lightsaber is rather straightforward, and you can design it using a PVC pipe. Follow one of the many Star Wars lightsaber creation tutorials that are available online. However, most users will opt to purchase a premade one, as they can be difficult to get right the first time you try.

There are also premade Ahsoka headpieces available separately online or at any costume shop with a strong Star Wars focus. You can also purchase headpiece starter kits that include cut and appropriately colored fabric. With the kit you just need to fill it with fiberfill or similar stuffing material and sew it closed. If you choose to make the headpiece fabric yourself, the trick will be dying it because of the way it’s striped. Note that the pillow-like headpieces are much more comfortable than the cheap plastic versions, and children are likely to wear them for longer periods.

At this point, the most difficult aspects of the Ahsoka child costume are complete. Next, you’ll need to gather a maroon body suit, a light gray leotard, a brown/black halter-top, a brown/black mini-skirt, reddish-brown knee-high boots, a wide leather belt, a lavender apron and fingerless elbow-high gloves. A folded purple bandana works well as the lavender apron. For the gloves, cut the fingers off cloth or silk elbow-length gloves. That’s all there is to it. Now your daughter is ready to join Anakin in the fight against the droid army.
