Here’s the (toy) story of how my Jessie costume came to life… My coworkers and I decided to all dress as Toy Story characters for our group dress up day at work. I chose Jessie because I had recently ‘rescued’ a cowboy hat from items destined for donation or the trash when a friend was moving. … Read more
This DIY Jessie costume was a super-quick turnaround costume, but I had a lot of fun making it! First, I made the hat out of some red stiff felt. I had to combine the pieces a bit to make the brim wide to match Jessie’s. I used white cording to glue between two pieces of … Read more
This year we decided to make Buzz Lightyear and Jessie the Cowgirl costumes. We started early in September. We had a ton of fun in these costumes. People were asking to get their pictures taken with us (or trying to sneak them and getting caught so I would pose). My favorite part of the night … Read more
I wanted to make a costume for my three month old baby that would make it easy for me to take her out trick or treating with her older brother this Halloween. I decided that a stroller costume would be my best choice, but felt like the Cabbage Patch Doll stroller costume has been done … Read more
My 12 year old niece Cassandra is wearing the costume. We got a white long sleeve button shirt and painted it with yellow fabric paint. Then with red puff paint, made red swirls. On the blue jeans we sewed cow print material as chaps. For the arm cuffs we got yellow foam squares and cut … Read more

Here is Woody and Slinky Dog from the infamous Toy Story series! We stole the show at both of the costume contests we attended- winning first prize each time. The head was made by covering a yoga workout ball with (hundreds of strips of) paper mâché and then painted. The mouth was tricky. We took … Read more
Every year, we look at ourselves and decide what couple we could play convincingly, so our looks will lend to our costume. We were a shoe in for Woody and Bo-Peep. Sick and tired of all of my peers going around in short miniskirts and cat ears, or X-Rated Disney princesses, I decided you could … Read more
Woody was easier to make because she already had the shorts, yellow shirt and cowboy boots. The hat, cow print and bandana were purchased at Hobby Lobby. She cut a plain white shirt and glued the cow print on. She also drew the red lines on the shirt with a shirt marker. Buzz was a … Read more
I really wanted me and my boyfriend to dress up as my favorite Disney characters Buzz and Woody. For the Buzz outfit I purchased a child’s Buzz Lightyear costume from the Disney store and cut off the legs. I then put a black leather skirt with it and added some white pumps where I wrote … Read more
My best friend and I decided this year that we wanted something original and creative for Halloween so we decided to make costumes and be Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story. We found a lot of inspiration from this website and some from just looking at pictures of the characters. Woody For Woody, I … Read more
Buzz: Making Buzz’s jet pack was the difficult part of the costume. I used cardboard poster board and cut out the shape. From there I drew/painted the exact design from the movie onto it. Waiting for the paint to dry took the longest. The paint was Martha Stewart All purpose paint (even waterproof). I cut holes into … Read more
