Build the storm-cloud look with a brimmed hat, polyester fiberfill and optional battery-powered lights. Add felt raindrops and a gray or silver outfit if you like. The DIY guides below offer practical ways to make the costume; they do not establish one canonical version or confirm the steps of a specific TikTok trend video.
What you’ll need
- A brimmed hat or similar headpiece base
- Polyester fiberfill, Poly-Fil or other suitable stuffing
- Optional battery-operated LED or twinkle lights
- Optional gray spray paint
- Optional blue felt and blue yarn for raindrops
- Gray or silver fabric for a tunic, or clothing you already own
These materials reflect the approaches described by Rae Gun Ramblings’ cloud costume guide and Country Living’s DIY costume roundup. Treat the extras as optional; neither guide establishes a required product brand or specific light model.
Make the cloud headpiece
- Choose a base. Start with a brimmed hat that can support the added stuffing. The guides describe hat-based versions, including a black sombrero in Country Living’s instructions.
- Attach the stuffing. Add polyester fiberfill or other stuffing around the hat to form an uneven, fluffy cloud silhouette. Build the shape gradually so the hat remains wearable.
- Add optional lights. If you want a lightning effect, incorporate battery-operated lights into the cloud. The guides describe this option but do not specify a model, runtime, brightness or weather rating.
- Darken the cloud if desired. Short sprays of gray paint are one guide’s way to create a stormier look. Paint is optional; follow the product label and let it dry fully before wearing the costume.
The guides present variations rather than one mandatory recipe: Rae Gun Ramblings lists a hat, Poly-Fil, gray spray paint and battery-powered twinkle lights, while Country Living describes adding flashing battery-operated LEDs to a black sombrero, covering it with stuffing, then adding more lights and stuffing.
Add rain and choose an outfit
Felt raindrops
For a falling-rain effect, cut large raindrop shapes from blue felt and attach them with blue yarn, as described by Country Living. You can omit them for a simpler cloud-only costume.

Gray or silver fabric suits the storm palette, but ordinary gray clothing is another flexible base. Country Living’s version pairs the hat with black clothing and neon rain boots.
