• Green or brown felt (for the body).
• Black or dark gray felt (for accents).
• Pants and a long-sleeve shirt (to attach the costume pieces to).
• Scissors.
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks.
• Paper to draw your dinosaur templates.
• Optional: Fake nails (for claws) and feathers (for a realistic look).

• Using the paper, sketch out the body parts: a tail, arms, and legs.
• Cut these shapes out and use them as templates for your felt.
• Cut the felt according to your templates, ensuring to create enough pieces to cover your body comfortably.

• Attach the tail to the back of your shirt using a hot glue gun.
• Glue or sew the arm pieces onto the sleeves. Make sure they look like the small arms of a velociraptor!
• Cut felt strips for leg accents and attach them to the pants.

• Cut out scales from the black or dark gray felt and glue them onto your costume for texture.
• Use fake nails to create claws on your hands and feet.
• If using feathers, glue them along your arms or tail to give a more authentic look.

• Use a piece of felt to create the base of your headpiece. It should fit comfortably on your head.
• Cut out a beak shape and glue it to the front of your headpiece.
• Add googly eyes or draw eyes on felt and attach them for a realistic touch.
• Consider adding some feathers to the top for an extra flair!
