My sister-in-law likes her parties to have themes, and the theme of this particular party was “lost in space”. I had a Darth Maul mask from a previous Halloween, and I’d always wanted my wife to dress up like Princess Leia in Jabba the Hut’s palace, so?. I bought some material, a metal hoop belt, … Read more
This Homemade Queen Amidala Girl’s Costume was made largely with recycled “dress up” items. This year we had three kids doing a Star Wars theme (Yoda, Amidala and Han Solo) so I wanted to keep the sewing to a minimum. The main feature here of course is the headdress and makeup. The structure of the … Read more
My husband makes it a tradition every Halloween to make our daughter (she is 5) a homemade costume. This year, since they both love Star Wars (she probably knows more about the characters and the movie than most adults) they decided she wanted to be a Stormtrooper. He spent about 7 hours over the course … Read more
This is one of the Star Wars Halloween costumes that is 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 … Read more
My five year old is a huge fan of the new Star Wars movies. We bought him the movies, and he loves to watch it over and over. To our surprise his favorite character is the short lived Com. Gree. So he has to be Gree. So we went out to the local Target to … Read more
Last year I made my son a Star Wars homemade Darth Maul costume and it cost me nothing. People of all ages (even those who were wearing store bought Darth Maul costumes) were in AWE of him! How I did it: He wore black sweatpants, his regular tennies, a black long sleeved shirt he had, … Read more
This R2D2 costume was a very simple, inexpensive costume to make, but it got really great reactions from everyone. We purchased a garbage can with a dome lid from Home Depot for the base of R2D2. We spray painted the lid silver, removed the flip opening (where trash would be thrown through), then screwed it … Read more
I’m kind of a Star Wars geek, and what better to celebrate Halloween then creating my own modified storm trooper outfit! I built this Homemade Heavy Storm Trooper Halloween Costume with cardboard, duct tape, electrical tape, white spray paint and a whole lot of time and love. I used reference images from all 6 Star … Read more
My son dressed up as Star Wars’ Cad Bane this Halloween and it was such a cool costume. I started with a brown jacket and a tan shirt, bought at the thrift store. I made sure the jacket was big so I would have extra fabric. I pulled in the back of the jacket to … Read more
My 5 year old son wanted to be Darth Maul for Halloween this year. We found a Darth Maul costume reference from the 501st Legion. I took a karate pattern and modified it to make the Sith Robe. Then sewed the tabards, the pants, and the loin cloth. I modified some gauntlet style gloves to … Read more
My little guy loved R2D2 but there were no costumes to buy and we really love to make our own. He and I used tape, a garbage can and a cat pan (he’s going to get me back for that when he is a teen) and created a costume on a car dolly! He can … Read more
