After completing younger brother’s Spiderman costume, I had to face the disappointment of an almost-five-year-old that his Ironman costume was not yet ready. Recognizing that the craft foam costume attempt was not heading in the right direction, I pivoted to a Superman concept. Luckily that was Columbus day weekend and we were all home on … Read more
When I asked my son what he wanted to be he screamed Superman. So I started my search and although I found some costumes, I didn’t think any of them were all that cute. Then I got the idea to do Clark Kent. All I needed was khakis, which my son had, a superman shirt, … Read more
For the Wonder Woman costume, I used a red tank top and blue high waisted shorts. I got white felt, cut our stars, and glued them all over the front of the shorts. I used a gold metallic fabric for the belt and hot glued a velco strip on it so it was easier to … Read more
Last fall I talked my boyfriend into letting me dress him up in tights… But only if he got to be Super Man. One month before Halloween we decided to be Wonder Woman and Superman, which of course led to one month of trips to Hobby Lobby, Walmart, hot glue gun burns and “PLEASE TRY … Read more
My husband loves superheroes! OK OK … so do I. So, for our first cosplay attempt at last year’s Comic Con, we decided on a super simple (and cheap!) Clark Kent in the middle of “becoming” Superman costume for him. (I was Tank Girl – you can check out my other submission for a how-to on my costume!) What … Read more
Max is my 16 month old baby boy! We went to North Carolina to visit family. I wanted to make Max a super hero this Halloween but I really wanted it to be homemade Somi, decided to make him Clark Kent! I bought him some pants, a white button-up shirt, a super man undershirt and … Read more
This is a Superman Costume I made from athletic spandex. I purchased a blue warm-up shirt and pants from a sports store and had a Superman “S” (printed online) embroidered onto the shirt. The Underwear is just a normal pair of mens’ underwear, turned inside out to hide the seams a little better. The boots … Read more
My son’s school only allows “career-themed dress-up” for Halloween at school. So, instead of having to do 2 costumes, we went with one idea and spruced it up for Trick-or-Treating! For Career Day, he was an attorney. We had a nice suit on hand with a white button-down shirt, tie, & dress shoes. I also … Read more
All I got for this costume was a blue onesie (I already owned one), red socks (already had these too), red felt, yellow felt (which costs like 20 cents at WalMart), some glue and satiny fabric for the cape (Velcro if you want the cape to be detachable). I just cut out the superman emblem … Read more
This is my Lego Superman costume which I made for our recent Royal Wedding street party. It took 4 weeks to make (much longer than I anticipated). The body started out as a large box which I adapted so that it was the correct shape for the Lego mini-figure. The head was simply a plastic … Read more
I wanted to share my costume with my son, so we decided to be Superman and coming out of a phone booth. I made the costume out of a wardrobe box. It comes complete with Clark Kent dress shirt and glasses, a public phone with phone cord (in the rear), and a crinkled front page … Read more
This year, our 4-year-old wanted to be Clark Kent and so the quest began. However, after analyzing what we needed, it ended up being rather easy and the result was great. In the end, all we needed was a pair of plastic glasses and a hat, because we already had a suit (for church) and … Read more
