I really like unique ideas for costumes, and always make mine. I was inspired by Labyrinth and Narnia. It took me (and my sewing mother) a week to create this. Legs: I bought “furry” fabric which was sewn into “shorts” with a drawstring to keep them up. They had elastics sewn in at the knees … Read more
This Homemade Jovie The Elf Costume was actually a custom request from someone this last Christmas, we just happened to be roughly the same size so I could model it for photos (I plan on making one for myself though, soon). The basic dress I made from a simple long sleeved, knee length dress pattern. … Read more
Like the others, I also had wanted to do this costume for a while. I am a big fan of the film, so for a NYE heroes and villains party I decdided to go all out on it. The shirt was an old white creased shirt I’ve had for a while, the trousers i got … Read more
It took quite a bit of studying of the movie for our Homemade Hocus Pocus Group Halloween Costume Ideas, but we tried to get every detail of the Sanderson sisters down to a tee and I think we were pretty successful. The Sanderson sisters are from the Disney movie Hocus Pocus. My friends and I … Read more
I wanted to think of something original, that if I went to the bar I wouldn’t see at least three of me walking around. Originally I wanted to be an airline stewardess that had got in a plane crash, and not survived. But then I watched the movie The Birds. And I thought how easy … Read more
I bought the clothes for our The Shining DIY Halloween costumes at goodwill. I wore old pajama bottoms, a beige turtleneck, my husbands green/beige plaid work shirt and a blue robe. I used a bag of black cobweb to fashion a black wig with bangs. I also did some red and extra black make-up around … Read more

Every year my fiance, Aaron’s, family has a big Halloween party and there’s a costume competition. His dad and step mom always win the Best Costume Award and we were determined to steal it from them this year so we were trying to think of something creative that no one else has done before. We … Read more
I created this Spamalot Couple costume for my daughter and her boyfriend after going to see Spamalot. They wanted something different for their costume this year and so, with some imagination and lots of glue, here is the result. For the Knight Who Says “Ni”, I made a long, black robe. The material was cheap … Read more
I like to make my costumes so last year that’s what I did. We both read the Twilight Saga and loved the books, plus they were getting pretty big so I figured why not be Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, it would be pretty easy and cheap to do. So when Halloween arrived we applied … Read more
I absolutely love Rocky IV, and I really wanted to be Ivan Drago (aka Dolph Lundgren). I loved it so much that I died my black hair blonde. I don’t expect people to follow suit, because I went through two months of torture betting my black hair back. Other than the hair, for this Homemade … Read more
DARK HELMET (AKA my mother!) Its a cat litter box! No joke. There were some really good ideas for Spaceballs costumes on this site, but we only had 1 day to do this one, it was a last minute idea. We tried to figure ways to make the mask move up and down, but everything … Read more
