The hat of the Homemade Drunken Pirate Costume was a gift. I regularly dress up like a pirate for almost all occasions, so a friend gave it to me knowing it would go to good use. The dreads are my actual hair. I usually have an eye patch, however you cannot see it in this … Read more
I started off this Homemade Pirate Woman Costume by going to some thrift stores and bought the skirt and white shirt first. I cut the shirt to fit over my shoulders and also cut the edges on the bottom of the skirt and some holes on the skirt as well. The finished product I also … Read more
We made these Homemade Robot Costumes out of cardboard and duct tape. The body is just cardboard cut, molded and covered with duct tape, then decorated with colored tape on top.

I try to steer clear of store bought costumes but my wife really liked this toddler pirate for our daughter. Since we were planning on pulling her in her wagon I decided to make it into a pirate ship. I built a basic frame that fits over the wagon from scrap wood and paneling from … Read more

I couldn’t find cheap hula hoops to make the ‘ridge’ part of the condom, so bought some cheap flexible plastic piping and taped it to the cardboard.

I was a little unsure about how appropriate this Retired Hooters Girl Costume would be for our annual Halloween Party, but I’m glad I went ahead with it because it was the hit of the party. For the Hooters girl blouse, I did an iron-on Hooters logo onto a black tank top that I purchased … Read more
This costume took a lot of work to make. The bubble bath has different steps in the project of constructing this costume. We took a big blue bucket and cut leg holes. A white shirt with white balloons as bubbles! A shower cap and rubber duck finishes the costume.

I didn’t actually use tulle though, I think what I bought was called netting [I’m not really familiar … Read more
