I wanted something original for Halloween last year for my oldest daughter. She loves Starbucks hot chocolate, and I love their coffee! So our minds were made up, a Starbucks Coffee costume!
I bought a small laundry basket ($1.97), some brown fabric ($2 yd) and a piece of poster board ($.50). I cut the bottom out of the basket, then measured where to cut the armholes. I wrapped the poster board around the basket, and got glued it down. Then I lined the top of the basket with the brown fabric and left a hole for her head.
I printed out the Starbucks logo (super sized) off of my computer, and glued it to the front of the ‘cup’. The handle is made from poster board as well. She wore some brown leggings and a brown long sleeve T that she already had and was good to go!
She got so many compliments and was running around telling everyone ‘you can drink me!’ haha It was a good time.
Where did you get the “super sized” logo for the front?
Wow! I am a Starbucks fanatic and began searching for a costume in it’s regard for my company costume party. This was such a unique idea and it turned out fabulous! I had to comment on it!

I was talking with Kate about all her costumes throughout the years, this is my daughter! lol We had so much fun making this. Tips for future costume makers, I bought everything at Wal Mart. For the logo, I just blew it up online after saving it on my google image search. ;)
