This Homemade Grown Up Huckleberry Finn Costume was a great last minute costume. All you need is a pair of overalls and a straw hat. I took it to the next level with a corn cob pipe, a harmonica, a stuffed fish on a stick and a XXX moonshine bottle. Best part is you don’t … Read more
For Halloween, I channeled the ringleader of the Purple Cobras–the most dangerous dodgeball entity known to man! How I made this Homemade White Goodman Costume Idea: With the hair, finding any wig that even remotely resembled Ben Stiller’s in Dodgeball proved unsuccessful.

This R2D2 costume was so much fun to make. My oldest son was Darth Vader and my youngest son was Yoda, so keeping with the Star Wars theme I had to come up with a character for my middle son. I kept searching for something to catch my eye, but none of the store costumes … Read more
