My roommates and I decided to be a living room set for Halloween. The couch is made out of a cardboard box with some fabric. The picture frame is made from cork board and some photos of all of us blown up. The table was made from cardboard and various table things like cup holders, … Read more
I’ve always tried to be an object for Halloween as opposed to a character or a person and two years ago I had a Basket of Laundry Costume. The costume took just a few hours to construct and was quite fun to wear. I started by cutting a waist-sized hole in the bottom of a … Read more
When asked what she wanted to be for Halloween our 3 year old daughter told us she wanted, of all things, a homemade vacuum cleaner Halloween costume.
