My 3year old originally wanted to be a dinosaur, he loves dinosaurs but since we did a dragon 2 years ago and the fact that we live in Florida and it is still hot here, I didn’t think it was a good idea. He loves to walk around and say “I am a robot.” Thus, … Read more
I have been the traditional Hulk Hogan for a couple of years now and decided I would take it up a notch and dress as Hollywood Hulk Hogan when he was a part of ECW and NWO. It was much harder because of the black beard mixed in with the blonde hair and mustache. I … Read more
I hadn’t the money I did in 2009 to purchase a professionally assembled costume. Since I had grown a beard (for the Blackhawks’ playoff run) I opted to use the beard to my advantage. It took no more that $40 worth of material and knowing someone with extensive sewing skills. I used a pair of … Read more
This is the Macho Man Randy Savage Costume that I made myself for last Halloween. I spent no more than 20 dollars for any part of this costume. I devoted over 60 hours painting, and sewing in the finishing touches. I thought I would post this here as a tribute to my hero, and fallen … Read more
This cat Halloween costume is pretty easy. I cut out of newspapers a pattern of a long leg for the eight legs. The head was like egg shaped but cut in half. I used two big goggle eyes, elastic around the bottom of the head to keep it on. I attached the legs to a … Read more
Here’s one of the most creative costumes I could come up with. I saw a lobster costume in a magazine and thought that it was so cute and I just had to make it for my son’s 1st halloween outfit. I made the jumpsuit that has hand covers and booties as well as a hat. … Read more
I made this Praying Mantis insect costume out of white poster board, a green plastic shower curtain and red pipe cleaners. It took me a total of three to four hours and I designed it as I went along. The entire thing was hot glued together. I wore these pieces over a green shirt and … Read more
This original Halloween costume took about 2 days to buy, create, and for paint to dry. It was the last year for my daughter to compete in the costume contests, so I had to go out with a big bang. I was wracking my brain, when suddenly it came to me. I was at work … Read more
This pirate costume was inspired by a toy parrot and the fact that Halloween in Minnesota requires a warm costume! When my three year old son wanted to be a pirate with a parrot I knew the costume would have to include a coat. I prefer not to sew especially not heavy fabrics so I … Read more
Everyone in the family was sick. There were memos flying around work about being extra cautions and washing your hands and I thought it would be great to come in to our company Halloween Party and spread the Swine Flu. Only problem is, I’m a dude and I can’t sew! So my wife put this … Read more
Me and two of my friends wanted to make our own costumes and we all work in health care so we decided to be a Homemade Nurse and Pill Bottles Group Costume. The pill bottles were made of pressed board and bent and screwed together with a 2×4 inside. We then had straps that we … Read more
