The two friends are busy every day scaring children away and collecting the energy that is released in the process.

The sweet monster is ideal for a carnival costume for men. For this you need felt in azure blue and purple. You can optionally just buy a pair of blue pants and a blue t-shirt and put them on. You can make the horns out of modeling clay and attach them to the hood with a glue gun.

Mike, an eyeball on two legs, is Sulley's best friend and business partner. In contrast to him, he is more down-to-earth and pragmatic. When the two monsters accidentally bring a little girl, Boo, into their universe, their adventure begins.

Boys in particular are fascinated by the film character and like to dress up as Mike. We'll explain to you how you can make a Monster AG costume. All you need is a t-shirt or blouse, felt fabric in black, white, blue and fabric glue. First, make the eye by cutting out three circles of different sizes: a large white circle, a medium-sized blue circle, and a small black circle. Also cut out a very small rhombus from the white felt. Glue the three circles together and then attach the white rhombus to the black circle. Place the eye in the middle of the blouse. Draw the monster mouth with sharp teeth on paper and cut out the drawing. Use it as a template and make the mouth out of black and white felt. Attach the mouth diagonally to the bottom of the blouse. The last thing you need to do is add an eyebrow above the eye. Put green leggings and the finished Mike blouse on the child and the carnival can begin!

Then the Festival of Fools will be twice as much fun. Our tip: Don't invest in expensive costumes for the whole family. It's just not worth it since the kids won't be able to wear them next year anyway. If you make the costumes yourself instead, you will have to expect a little more effort. But it pays off in the end because the results will definitely delight you. And homemade costumes also have another advantage: you can reuse the fabrics for other craft projects. Or organize a fun role play at home with the little ones. If you are planning a children's birthday party soon, you can choose a monster theme and use the costumes again.

Transform your old office clothes into a cute costume. Although the costumes are only color-matched to the film characters, Mike, Sulley and Boo are actually immediately recognizable. A cool idea for anyone who is invited to a carnival party after work and doesn't have time to change at home.
