This pregnant cow costume is a brilliant example of turning maternity into creativity.

The look starts with a cow-print crop top and pants, paired with playful cow ears.

Plus, the real showstopper is the belly, painted a bold pink to resemble an udder and dotted with small bottle nipples to complete the design.

The best part is that you can keep it as simple or detailed as you like, some add a tail, others accessorize with cowbell jewelry for extra laughs.

It’s a quick DIY that sparks smiles wherever you go, making it perfect for parties, trick-or-treating with kids, or even a themed photo shoot.

Materials Needed

• 1 yard cow-print fabric or cow-print clothing set (pants + crop top)
• 1 pink body paint set (safe for skin, 3-4 oz)
• 6-8 baby bottle nipples (approx. 1-2 inch wide)
• 1 headband with cow horns/ears (store-bought or DIY)
• 1 small cowbell necklace (optional)
• Hot glue or skin-safe adhesive

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Start with a base outfit of cow-print clothing such as leggings, pants, or even a skirt paired with a matching top.

Step 2: Paint your baby bump pink using skin-safe body paint, covering the entire front area evenly.

Step 3: Attach baby bottle nipples to the belly using skin-safe adhesive or double-sided body tape. Arrange them in two neat rows like udders.

Step 4: Add a cow horn headband to finish the look. For a playful twist, wear a necklace with a cowbell charm.

Step 5: Strike a confident pose and enjoy the endless laughs and compliments that follow.

Tip:

For extra comfort, choose stretchy clothing and test the paint on a small patch of skin first to make sure it’s irritation-free.
