This was my first attempt at ever building my own Halloween costume. My sister and her husband started doing detailed costumes for Halloween parties they hosted a few years ago… So, this year I had a lot more time on my hands and decided to bring more to the party than a store bought costume … Read more
My mom made this homemade slinky dog couple costume for my 6 year old boys. The “slinky” is made from an 18 foot dog tunnel. The head attaches to a broom handle so it can be moved from side to side. We also used a mesh material so the boys could see where they were … Read more
Very easy to make Troll Dolls Group Costume! We bought a nude-coloured body suite and some nude leggings. We didn’t want to feel too naked, so we wraped a scarf around our waist. For the belly button: we glued jewls onto a diamond-shapped cardboard. We then glued some pins onto the back of the board … Read more
Used “Headliner” Fabric for the skin of potato…..it’s good because it has foam on the back side so it gives it some poof. I had to line it with an old sheet because the foam won’t go through sewing machine, easily. The lining is good anyway if you decide you want to stuff it. All … Read more
My son, Jackson, is three years old. He struggles a little bit with his alphabet, but he can name every single Transformer, and quote directly from the movie. (What can I say, we focus on the important stuff in our family!) He frequently runs around the house, going from being on his hands and knees … Read more

The hair was made from a Talbots wool suit jacket that I purchased from the Goodwill for $5. Took it apart, washed/felted it, and sent it to a friend who cut it up … Read more
I came up this idea for a Troll Doll Creative Halloween Costume because I loved the Troll dolls when I was younger. I bought a nude body suit and a wig. I sprayed the wig red and used construction paper as the diamond on my stomach. Easy as Pie!
I bought a clown pattern that looked like a Jack in the box clown. I changed it up a little so the shirt would be longer. My daughter picked the material colors. I try to have her help as much as possible. I put wire hoops inside to give it a slinky look. I bought … Read more
Here’s our Cabbage Patch kid costume. I have 3 kids, 2 boys and finally a little girl who was born on August 16th 2006. I never had a baby doll growing up so now I finally have my little girl doll. This is her first Halloween so I decided to make her a Cabbage patch … Read more
My son’s name is Jack and every year he dresses up as a different Jack character. Last year he was a Jack-in-the-box. We had an old moving box I covered in bright wrapping paper. I covered an empty paper towel roll in gold tissue paper and used that as the crank/handle. He wore one of … Read more
As I was searching for inspiration for a Halloween costume I came across costume ideas that were based around board games. Although a fun reference, it was not exactly what I was looking for. Instead, I took the board game idea to the next level and made it interactive. I used an old white dress … Read more
My 8 year old daughter loves American Girl Dolls. And it just so happens that she looks just like Kit Kittredge. So this year for Halloween she asked to be Kit in the very Famous American Girl doll box. She wanted to look just like the doll fresh from the store and exactly like the … Read more
