My son was born with bilateral congenital cataracts, and had them removed at 6 and 7 weeks old. As a result he has to wear glasses. Naturally, I wanted to go with something that played off of that. I thought about Harry Potter, but just really didn’t feel it. As I thought of other cute … Read more
This is the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman Costume I created. And although the process was lengthy and a bit annoying, it was still pretty enjoyable in the end because Selena Kyle makes her catwoman costume herself in the Batman Returns movie which made me even more like her which was pretty cool and I got a … Read more
This Mark 3 Iron Man Halloween costume is based closely on the the movies. I spent lots of time trying to get all the details in. It is mainly made of Poster Board, Foamies (arts & crafts thin foam sheets), a ton of Hot Glue(I think I used 140 sticks or so including the helmet … Read more
I really wanted to do this Homemade Gossamer Costume for years so I decided how. I got foam and cut it to sit on my head and be tall. Then I laid the fur over the top and glued it on top of the foam. I put suspenders through the foam at the shoulders to … Read more
For this homemade hit girl costume I simply used my imagination! I know this is not exactly like hit girl but its simply my version of it because I couldn’t find purple plaid fabric around here.

My friends and I decided that a great group costume this year would be to dress up as the “My Little Pony” characters. Since we wanted something cute – but not skin revealing as other costumes girls generally wear – and we wanted something that involved a lot of glitter, the ponies were the perfect … Read more
My husband and I love the old school Mad Magazine, especially these guys. I looked for months to find a costume and there is not one in existence other then a few weird looking rubber masks, so we made every inch ourselves. The masks are paper mache covered with fabric.

Our favorite movie from the 80’s was “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” We have been doing couple’s costumes for a few years now, and each year at the parties we go to, the people there tell us how we have to come up with something good again for the next year. Well, this year, we wanted … Read more
