Bilbo Baggins Hobbit Costume

Young or old, Bilbo has typical feet for his kind which means that he doesn't wear shoes and his feet have a slightly larger appearance than you would expect for someone so short in stature. This fantasy creature's feet are normally hairy just past the toes and up towards the ankles and you'd expect the hair color to match up with the hair on a Hobbit's head.

These feet can be purchased as accessories and I'm showing my favorites off on the left. You can also get some funny slippers which look like bare and exaggerated feet which would work well too.

If the costume event is an indoor one, you could simply have bare feet and use some skin safe glue to attach some furry fabric to the front of your feet.

For an outdoor event, you could think about some inexpensive white canvas shoes which could be painted using spray paint or acrylic paint to match your flesh tones and then you can easily glue some furry fabric on top which would give you your own DIY feet. One sure way to wreak your look is to wear a pair of normal shoes - that's not in character at all.

Older Bilbo is instantly recognizable with his smart dress vest waistcoat in an orange red color that he wears over the top of a long-sleeved, white dress shirt with billowing sleeves. The vest has six gold color buttons. This is worn with some cropped brown pants or trousers.

Younger Mr Baggins favors wearing suspenders (braces UK) over his dress shirt which features rolled up sleeves.

Either one might be seen with the Sword called Sting. You can get two versions of this sword which is often called Frodo's sword. That's because Frodo used this sword in his The Lord of the Rings adventures - but it was Bilbo who gave it to him. And it was the latter who first found the sword during his journey.

Go for The Lord of the Rings Sting Sword for the older character and The Hobbit version of the same one for the younger character. They are slightly different as the LOTR one has an inscription which the other does not.

The eyebrows of these fantasy characters often take on a slightly bushy appearance. They don't normally meet in the middle although they sometimes do! You would need some grey stick-on eyebrows for the older version of this little hero and some brown ones for the younger.

No other make-up or special effects are required unless you want to also go so far to have some slightly pointy ears too as shown on the side! Sometimes these charming and loveable creatures are depicted with rosy red cheeks because they are fond of drinking and eating vast amounts of food.

The older version of him has rather fluffy and wavy silver grey hair which extends just past his large pointy ears. There is a little wavy fringe and no obvious parting. The younger character has medium brown hair which is also wavy and has a fringe. The length is the same, just below his ears.

Mr Baggins never has any facial hair such as a beard or mustache. He has a clean shaven face. The wig on the left would work pretty well for him although you could look for something similar.
