First you should cut the ears, you can do this by cutting at the point of the elbow of a sweatshirt. Then you should take each of the sleeves and create a triangle shape to look like the large ears. Cut fours pairs and then match them up.
Then cut cardboard to put in the middle of each of the ears. Glue or sew the ears together, with the cardboard inside, and sew them into the green hood on either side. Having the cardboard in the ears should keep them sturdy, so that they can stand out. Then create a cloak. Cut out material that resembles how the cloak looks and sew it together. Then cut out the arms, which need to be a bit bigger than your own arms, and then sew them together. After that you will need to sew them to the cloak. Paint is needed to paint the face green, to help with the look.
You can either paint the hands or cover them with gloves in the color green as well. Depending on the weather the gloves maybe the right choice. Finally, all you need is a walking stick to complete the look, as this costume would not be complete without it. Make sure the stick is lightweight, as you will be carrying it around with you for most of the night. You can use a branch and mold it into a walking stick of your choice.
So, there is no reason why choosing the Yoda costume, would not be the right choice for you as it can be inexpensive and easy to make by hand.
