Last year when my son wasn’t walking yet, I was trying to come up with a funny costume that would make sense with a crawling baby. I thought a crocodile or something low to the ground was perfect and loving a little dark humor I wanted to make it eating my son. Unfortunately, I never … Read more
This is the 2 dollar costume. Took a pic of my eyes. Printed it on a colour photocopier. Cut out the eyes and pasted them on my face on either side of my nose. Pulled my hat down and could still see 5 feet in front of me. I went to a party at a … Read more
Last summer, our family took a vacation to Gatlinburg TN where we went to the Dixie Stampede. There was a character named Skeeter who had a chicken costume that made everyone laugh and my husband told me “I want that costume!” He decided that day that he would make his own costume for Halloween. We … Read more
My son and I had so much fun creating the headless look! First we went to our local thrift store and bought a long trench coat. We love hanging out in the thrift store. Never know what you will find! We then taped a box on top of a backpack. When we make costumes you … Read more
Well I have to say this was the most interesting costume I have made yet. It took me about two months from start to finish. I went to the good will and bought a wedding dress originally for my daughter five years previous and then bought a mannequin and made the bust out of paper … Read more
I saw an invisible man costume online and thought, “I have to do this!” I win a costume contest at work every year and thought that would work perfect. I didn’t have any instructions, so every thing was trial and error. I had the coat first and thought I would just pull it over my … Read more

I wanted to create a costume that was an optical illusion. I searched many ideas on Google when I came up with the idea to be a Contortionist. Creating the costume was a lot of trial and error. I started on a Monday and created a set of legs in one night! I was very … Read more
This costume was inspired by other head-in-the-freezer costumes! I love illusion costumes and thought this would be hilarious for an upcoming 10K race. I put together the costume using foam core instead of a large cardboard box as the former would be sturdier; I needed this costume to stay together during the race. It was … Read more
This Dino Princess costume took a lot of time to make. I started with chicken wire and made my basic form, then added lots and lots of spray foam. I then sanded it down smooth and added spray paint, added a tongue which was actually a hand in a candy bowl prop I tore apart … Read more
This is a combo costume that I wore with my 7 month old daughter in a baby-bjorn. The concept was an octopus with flailing tentacles attacking a snorkeler. I was really excited to do a combo costume with my child from the moment I found out I was pregnant. I knew we would be able … Read more
