This Genie of the Lamp costume was tedious but the outcome was perfect. I started with a simple tee shirt, cut it across the middle, cut off the sleeves and split it down the middle to make a vest. I adorned it with rhinestones, cheap chain, upholstery trim, felt and chrome poster board to cover up any logos. … Read more
I really love to crochet, and I also love to wear costumes, so for Halloween 2012 I decided I wanted to crochet my entire costume. Since I’m a big Disney fan, and Rapunzel is my favorite princess, (and also because the wig sounded fun!) I decided she would be my character this year. I had … Read more
For this year’s family costume party my mother-in-law chose the theme “Famous Couples”. My husband and I didn’t want to choose something boring or obvious like Bonnie & Clyde or Spongebob & Patrick, so we created this Lady Liberty and the Big Apple Couple Costume. I was dressed like the Statue of Liberty and he … Read more
This Little Green Alien couple Toy Story costume was a crowd favorite. Toy Story is done a lot, but most people stick with the main characters. My boyfriend and I decided to go a different way. We like to joke and have fun, so little green Alien was the best way to do that. The only … Read more
I made this Cute Pongo and Perdita Costume for Couples all by myself for my boyfriend and I. I am a huge Disney freak so it made sense that we would be something Disney for Halloween.

This is how I made my Gargoyle costume. I started by shaving my entire body; head legs chest etc. It was not much fun and I have a lot more appreciation for what a lot of women go through! Then I applied a base coat of liquid latex. You can buy this at any Halloween … Read more
I made this original Halloween costume about 10 years ago. The illusion of this original Halloween costume is what makes it great. I’ve had people stare at the costume for a few minutes trying to figure it out. I once brought it to the mall for a contest and people just stopped in their tracks … Read more
We had such a great Halloween this year because we dressed up as a family with our own homemade Halloween costumes. We complimented my son’s Jimmy Neutron costume by having my other son dress like Goddard the Dog and then my husband and I dress as Jimmy’s parents, Hugh and Judy Neutron. It was so … Read more
For this costume, my friends and I were salt, Tequila, and lime (we stood in that order respectively for photos). The salt and lime were relatively easy to make, and to add an extra umph to it we bedazzled the shirt dresses, which were made by stretching the collar of a large t shirt and … Read more
Let’s face it, unicorns are amazing. There is no other animal or mythical creature that has the mystique and appeal of a unicorn. So once I got creative and came up with my idea, I went full throttle. I knew my unicorn would be pink and glittery but I didn’t know of how to build … Read more
