Kids Boys Joseph Nativity Christmas Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

Christmas is a great time of year to celebrate and get festive, and what better way to do that than with fancy dress? For most Nativity costumes, you can get away with a tabard or a tunic to make up the base of the outfit. All this took place in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet, ‘Mark! The maiden will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call His name Immanuel’–a word which signifies ‘God with us’.

But Joseph her husband, being a kind-hearted man and unwilling publicly to disgrace her, had determined to release her privately from the betrothal. But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son, and you are to call His name JESUS for He it is who will save His People from their sins.’Get ready to bring the magic of the Nativity story to life with our fantastic collection of Nativity costumes.

All you need is a long rectangle of fabric to fashion into a tunic, or you can even cheat and adapt an old pillowcase for little ones! To neaten up the tabard, you can hem the edges. You can do this with a sewing machine if you have one, but for a no-sew option use something like Wonderweb hemming tape. Place the tape on the inside of the fabric, a couple of inches up from the edge. Then, fold the rough edge of the fabric so that it covers the hemming tape. You can then place a damp cloth on top and run a hot iron along the hem to bond the tape in place. Dive into a world of historical wonder as you explore our extensive selection of Nativity costumes. Whether you're gearing up for a role in the Holy Family, the shepherds, angels, or the Three Wise Men, we've got you covered. No matter your role in this heartwarming narrative, we have the perfect costume waiting just for you. Cut around the semi-circle so that your child has a hole to put their head through. If you like, you could stop here with the tabard, but if you want to make it neater then follow the next steps. You can then decorate it in the colours of the animal. For added authenticity, cover the cardboard in furry fabric. Faces can then be painted to add an extra cute dimension to your child's outfit.An angel Nativity costume is another easy one to rustle up. You may already have a fairy or angel costume at home, or at least a tutu, some fairy wings or a halo or tiara in your dressing-up box. If you need to provide your own baby Jesus prop, you can use a child's doll, swaddled in a blanket or towel, for your little Mary to carry. Of course, don't forget the crown! You can easily make a crown out of cardboard, and use some coloured tissue paper or glitzy wrapping paper to create the sparkling 'jewels'. And they'll need a present to carry for the baby Jesus; you can make this from an old cardboard box, covered in gold or shiny wrapping paper, too. To make your angel's halo, you can simply use a plain headband with some silver or gold pipe cleaners. Easy! Find more steps on how to make a halo here. For the wise mens’ crowns the options are endless. There are dozens of templates online which you can use. Or alternatively get some thin-ish paper and do an origami crown.
