The cute main character Bambi of the Disney film of the same name is, in his early youth, a roebuck with good-natured, big eyes, thin legs and a childishly sweet voice. Bambi's eyes change from orange to brown. The deer's fur is orange in color with several white spots. A brown stripe runs from its head to its tail. Disney's Bambi also has brown hooves. As an adult, Bambi impresses with his bravery and double-ended antlers, making him a true young deer.

In order to imitate Bambi's appearance as closely as possible, we recommend choosing shades of brown, beige and orange for your outfit. Of course, these colors are not a must. For example, if you need to whip up a last-minute costume, you can also access other shades and invest more in your Bambi makeup. Exactly what your transformation looks like depends primarily on whether you want to be recognized as Bambi at first glance or just want to hint at the character.
To create a Bambi costume, you don't actually need to make any expensive purchases. Women who want to look particularly elegant and feminine at the carnival celebration can, for example, transform a simple brown jersey dress into a chic deer costume. Cut a large oval from white fabric to attach to the front of the dress with fabric glue. To imitate the many white spots on the deer's back, cut out several circles and ovals of different sizes and distribute them along the back.
To complete the deer costume you will also need to attach a tail. Cut out a piece of fabric in the shape of a teardrop and glue a slightly smaller, white piece in the same shape onto it. You are welcome to combine the homemade Bambi costume with chic high-heeled shoes or, for more comfort, wear flat shoes in beige or brown. You can also make a chic deer Bambi costume yourself with a skirt. A tutu in combination with a long sleeve or sweater in brown shades also creates a charming carnival costume for women.

The antlers shouldn't be heavy either, especially for a Bambi carnival or Halloween costume for children. Your creativity is required here. You have to make a kind of antler headband and simply put it on your head or your child's head. Make an ear template or use a ready-made template to print out. Cut out two larger ears from brown foam rubber or felt and two smaller ones from white. Make the brown ears double so that you can bend them in the middle and attach them to the side around the headband.
Make the ears
The headband must practically lie between both parts of the ear. For example, you can make the antlers themselves from thin branches with branches. You can attach these to the top of the headband with hot glue. If you want to create voluminous horns that are not heavy, you can wrap the branches with brown adhesive tape. Ladies and girls look adorable when you use a glue gun to glue artificial flowers around their antlers. A flower wreath made of real flowers brings a touch of spring and freshens up the beautiful costume.

Make up Bambi – make-up instructions
If you want to make a real Bambi costume yourself, you also have to apply the appropriate make-up. You really don't have to be a makeup artist to get an authentic looking Bambi face. With the following instructions you are sure to succeed in applying make-up. First, cover your face with white makeup or light foundation. This creates an even, light base for further deer make-up. If you want, you can apply a little concealer under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows.
Now use powder to set the makeup and make it last. Then use the bronze or dark brown powder to contour along the cheekbones and hairline. Then take a medium brown powder and apply it along the crease of the eyelid and on both sides of the bridge of the nose up to the eyebrows. Then, at the bottom of the eye, a small distance from the inner corner of the eye, draw an eyeliner that runs to the outer corner of the eye and extends beyond its end.
Then draw an eyeliner on the upper eyelid. Color the space between the lower eyeliner and the eye with white make-up pencil. Make the tip of your nose black and add lines of black eyeliner on either side of the bridge of your nose, extending to your eyebrows. If you want, you can also paint on long eyelashes or perhaps glue on artificial ones. Make dots on your forehead and cheeks with the white make-up pencil. Finally, use the black eyeliner to draw a vertical stripe from the nose to the upper lip, which you can also color in black if desired.
