How to Create Security Guard Uniforms

If you want to dress like a security guard, for a party or other event, you can make a costume using some basic pieces of clothing and some simple sewing skills. You start with an affordable, easy-to-find shirt and slacks. Add your own shoes, belt and tie. Then you can buy a badge at a costume supply shop, or make your own badge. Put it all together, and you make a pretty convincing security guard.

Instructions

    • 1

      Buy black pants. They should not be skin-tight, but they should not be baggy, either. If you already have pants like this, you can use them.

    • 2

      Buy a sky-blue, long-sleeved shirt. You also can use a white shirt. Even if you have a blue or white shirt, you might want to buy an inexpensive one for the costume, because you have to sew things onto it.

    • 3

      Sew black breast-pockets onto the cotton shirt.

    • 4

      Create a company patch, using an imaginary company, to sew on the right sleeve of the shirt. You can make the patch from felt and fabric paint, for example.

    • 5

      Wear a simple black tie, black shoes and a black belt.

    • 6

      Pin your fake badge above your left shirt pocket, and head out for the party.
