I wanted to do a couples costume that I had never seen before. I started brain storming about different things from my childhood and Mr. Owl and Tootsie Pop came to me. I started searching for a tootsie pop tank top or shirt. I came across the Tootsie Pop tank dress. I decided to go … Read more
My son really wanted to make the “made of money guy” costume. At first this seemed easy; then challenging; then easy again. It’s kind of an experiment. When I first started this project I thought finding play money would be easy to find. You could find small amounts here and there but not enough for … Read more
After weeks and weeks of harping on a costume and knowing that it would be hard to live up to my giraffe costume from last year and Oscar the Grouch costume from the year before, I finally settled on what I thought would get a few smiles and settled on Captain Crunch. Not being able … Read more
We decided to go to our friends Halloween party like a week before because we could not think of any costumes. My husband said he wanted to be The Most Interesting Man in the world so I stared to look on line for some beards and all of the ones from the stores seemed so … Read more
My family had a Party for my Nephew. Since his birthday is close to Halloween we all dress up. It was very funny to see the people face driving on freeway. I had to drive about an hour to get to the party. When I got there everyone was laughing so hard. What a Good Halloween. I love to … Read more
Every year for about the last four years, I’ve always been some sort of TV character or commercial character. Not for any certain reason, but I like having funny costumes and being original. In the past I’ve been Flo from Progressive, The Sundrop soda girl, and contestants from Double Dare. Well this particular year, I didn’t have … Read more
I kept seeing the Colonel with a bucket, but I thought a chicken would be more fun. The chicken costume is super simple to make~just time consuming. First, buy white feathers boas in bulk ( you will need A LOT!) I had a white long-sleeve dress already on hand. You just take your dress (or … Read more
I had an old overall in my house, so I went to the local DIY shop and bought yellow spray paint and a sample pot of red paint. I cut the sleeves and below the knees off the overall and sprayed it yellow. I left it to dry for 2 hours outside, then added the … Read more
One of the easier costumes I’ve ever pulled together was the Hamburglar costume! I found a dress online that was black and white striped that gave me the idea… you can probably find some combination of a striped top/skirt or just use a recycled referee costume! The red gloves are those shiny prom gloves, just … Read more
I needed an idea quick, for a Halloween social we were going to, and then a commercial got my creative juices flowing. The hardest part by far was the drum and that in a sense was easy. I bought 2 foam boards and cut 2 circles, I then cut a long strip of poster board … Read more
My friends and I were in a need of a last minute costume. We didn’t want to be the typical princess or something you see every year. After picking our brains for hours we final got an idea. Snap, Crackle and Pop! We had never seen it before. We hurried out of the house with … Read more
I’m not really sure how I came up with this -I just randomly thought of it and decided to go with it. The Colonial sanders costume was simple too make – self explanatory. The chicken was a little harder; I had to attach a feather boa to a white onsie. It literally looked like I … Read more
