At first, we were going to be sugar and spice. But we realized it was much more fun to be spicy! So along came our idea to be two Spice Girls of our favorite hot sauces, Tabasco and Sriracha. We bought oversized shirts, cut off the sleeves, and bought fabric pens. For Tabasco, she bought a … Read more
I knew I’d undoubtedly be a fire hazard and the idea of having to frequently inflate myself throughout the night wasn’t overly appealing, but I was going to just go ahead and fulfill my lifelong dream of being one of those fat sumo wrestlers already. However, that didn’t happen. What happened instead required 20 balloons, … Read more
I’m a Starbucks ADDICT so this Starbucks Coffee Cup Costume was perfect for me! I started by picking up a lightweight (cheap) trashcan from the hardware store, along with bungee cords (for straps) and white spray paint. Once home, I went to town spray painting the can and the lid with the white spray paint. It … Read more
We took two tri-fold presentation boards, 1 red, 1 purple and painted the background with the design of a traditional Nerds box. We then took a darker shade of purple and black and created the Wonka background to the logo. We free-handed it with stripes diagonally across the grape box and partially across the cherry … Read more

This year my girls wanted to be something fun and original for Halloween… again. Every year my girls come up with bigger, better and more original (i.e. complicated) ideas. I don’t know if I am going to be able to keep up with their ingenuity in the years to come. My youngest wanted to be … Read more
My daughter made all of the pieces to her Popcorn costume this year – and I helped her glue it together with hot glue. She used the spray insulation foam and sprayed blobs of it on a table covered in saran wrap (she did this outside of course!). She waited a few days and then … Read more
I decided to be Hot Breakfast because women always feel the need to be something “sexy” for Halloween. I wanted young girls to see that not-so-sexy things can be “Hot”. I was just tired of seeing “sexy cats” and “sexy officers”. I figured no one would be a frying pan for Halloween. I started by making … Read more
The five of us started our girl group costume idea with fabric in our personally picked sauce packet colors. This fabric was purchased from a local craft store. We each purchased 2 yards and began fitting and pinning. After fitting, cutting and hemming front and back pieces, we then laced them together with ribbon. We did … Read more
First I used glue sticks to make a square for my Ice Cream Man Costume. I shaped it into a cone, painted it, added some maggots that I made with hot glue. Glue ice cream cones with melted looking ice cream onto clothes. Sprinkles were glued on face with eyelashes glue. Use eyeshadow makeup for … Read more
