Coolest Space Girl Costume
I made this Space Girl Costume for my little 3 year-old this year. She wanted to be a “Space Girl” and fly to the moon. We started by making a simple dress/jumper out of some curtain material that had a silver backing. Someone had made adult pants from the material and I just dismantled it. … Read more
Original Homemade Outhouse Costume
I originally wanted to use a refrigerator box for this Halloween but couldn’t find one in time so made a Homemade Outhouse Costume.

Coolest Toilet Paper Roll Costume
My 8-eight-year-old’s goal for Halloween this year was to be something “totally random”. What’s more random than a huge roll of toilet paper?!?! The costume really wasn’t that hard to make. It probably took all of 2-3 hours to put together – it will probably take you less time since you won’t have to “noodle … Read more
Coolest Homemade Girl in a Tub Costume
This Homemade Girl in a Tub Costume is simple and affordable! I took an old Rubbermaid bin and spraypainted it with a high-gloss white paint.

Coolest Homemade Heisman Trophy Costume
This Homemade Heisman Trophy Costume is my boyfriend Brian dressed up as the Heisman Trophy.

I … Read more
Truck Creative Costume
We are always looking to do something different. In past years he was a fridge and a washing machine. This Jeff Gordon car lasted us two seasons and he got oodles of candy.

Coolest Tacky Tourists Costumes
I got this idea for tacky tourists costumes from a costume I saw in a catalog. I looked at it and thought, “I can do better than that.” It was easy once the idea came. Sadly, I had the “loud” outfit in my closet. All my husband had to do was add socks with his … Read more
