How to Make a Burrito Halloween Costume

This Halloween dress as a spicy burrito. A white fleece blanket serves as the tortilla. Yarn, crepe paper, felt and streamers are used to make the rice, cheese and veggies.

Cut the poster board into three 4" to 5" strips.

Insert the poster-board strips in the blanket fold and attach using a stapler. This will help the top of the tortilla stand up.

Wrap blanket around the shoulder and make a mark where to cut the armholes. Use a circle template to cut the armholes so the blanket becomes a cape.

Slip into cape and tie a belt around the waist. Bring the ends of collar together and secure with safety pin. This will not only give you an idea of how to wear the costume, but also familiarize you with how to arrange the fillings around the collar.

Cut the remaining poster board into long 4"-wide strips. You will need about six. These will be used for the burrito fillings.

Use a 4" circle template to cut the felt fabric into 20 to 25 circles.

Fold each circle in half and then a quarter.

Staple the folded felt to one of the poster-board strips.

Make as many strips as desired.

Fold the green tissue paper lengthwise in half, then quarters and then again in eighths, until the paper is about 4 inches wide. Cut along the length to separate the tissue paper strips.

Fold two strips of the poster board in half and place tissue paper strips in between them. Staple the poster board along the middle to sandwich the tissue in between the two poster strips.

Use scissors to cut 1/2" fringe in the tissue paper lettuce.

Cut the orange tablecloth into 2" strips. Staple red cupcake liners to the strips.

For the rice, make white yarn pom-poms.

Bunch the pom-poms together with pipe cleaners so that they look like a floral bouquet.
