DIY: Chiquita Banana Carmen Miranda Costume

Updated: Oct 2, 2019

You know you wanna, wanna a banana! In this case, you'll wanna banana and a pear and some grapes too. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to create a super fabulous fruit headdress for your little Chiquita.


To make this costume, you will need:


- Headwrap - you can find them as low as $1.50/free shipping on eBay (search "gold turban")

- Fake fruit (DollarTree $1.00/each)

- Fake flowers (DollarTree $1.00)

- Scarf (DollarTree $1.00)

Using plastic bags or a towel, create a round shape to place your turban on while you work. Begin by hot gluing your first piece of fruit onto the turban.

Continue adding fruit, placing them as desired. If your fruit is moving more than you'd like, feel free to use sewing pins to secure the pieces of fruit together. The pins can easily be pushed into the foam fruit, holding the pieces in place.

Use your hot glue to add the flowers.

That's it! Have your little one wear a vibrant shirt or dress and throw on a neck scarf... and get ready for your little one to cha cha cha the night away!
