I was a little more discriminating with this costume because even being plus sized, I still wanted it to be somewhat fitting.
Wilmaįortunately I found the white semi-stretchy fabric in the clearance bin (it was upholstery fabric) and paid less than $3 for the white fabric and it was three yards! I used a piece of orange scrap to serve as interfacing to give the costume a finished look (which I now realize wasn’t necessary for a quasi-caveman!) I cut the black felt into various sized triangles and used some black thread to quickly stitch them onto the orange costume. Then, I pinned the sides and while it was inside out just drew where I thought the arm and neck holes should be sewn and went from there. I measured the chest and waist of my boyfriend and cut a front and back of the Fred costume. I then spent about $0.40 on the black felt and $0.25 on the blue scrap of felt for the tie. After using a coupon at a local fabric store it totaled almost $10 for two yards.
The most expensive item was the orange fabric for Fred. Looking back on prior years I was able to fabricate my own versions of the Flintstone costume. I have to thank this website for the inspiration for these costumes. My mom actually made the little white pom pom on top of his hat but those could be bought pretty cheap! Luckily, I already had some orange shorts that were too long for him so I just cut them jagged at the bottom then hot glued the triangles to those and the hat. The Flintstone costume is so easy to make! I bought two sheets of black felt and when I babysat my nieces and nephews I let them cut out triangles (they loved the project!) I had to buy a hat and some Rit Dye because I couldn’t find an orange one his size. We practiced banging his bat on things and yelling “Bamm Bamm” weeks before Halloween! Making the Costume My friend has a little girl and we had originally planned on throwing a Halloween party my family was going to dress at the “Rubles” and her’s would have been the “Flintstones.” Unfortunately we didn’t have the party but I knew my son would make the perfect Bamm Bamm. I chose Bamm Bamm months before Halloween because my son has the white hair just like Bamm Bamm and also shares his attitude! We had fun with this Flintstone costume theme. The company says “apparel and accessories for adult fans, featuring classic Barney, are also in development”.Flintstone Costume submitted by: Sheena R., Texarkana, TX So for anyone who grew up on the original Barney show - and would admit to enjoying him and friends like BJ the yellow protoceratops and Baby Bop the green triceratops - Mattel is hoping they’ll want to buy old-school Barney toys and swag. Mattel’s television unit, which has also recently brought back its Monster High and Masters of the Universe franchises, is hoping to cash in once again on young and middle-aged adults yearning for the days of their childhood. “With our modern take on Barney, we hope to inspire the next generation to listen, care and dream big.”
BLOW UP BARNEY COSTUME SERIES
“In creating the new series, it was important to us that we properly reflect the world that kids today live in so that the series can deliver meaningful lessons about navigating it,” said Fred Soulie, general manager of Mattel Television.

What in the actual heck?” another tweeted. “Maybe it’s because I’m use to the OG Barney I grew up with during the ‘90s, but this new Barney looks like they gave him a face lift and some botox,” another added.
