This was an awesome couples contest that won us $200! We bought furry fabric and folded it in half longways. We sewed the bottom parts on each side but left room for our arms. We cut out the hole for the mouth and sewed black mesh there. We sewed a small tube type thing on … Read more
Well first off I had no idea how to make this Yip Yip costume. This costume was made for my oldest daughter. I think she was born in the wrong era! Her birthday is June 20 1998 and she loves anything and everything from the eighties. So it began the making of a Yip Yip costume. A Yip Yip is … Read more
This woman’s sexy Big Bird costume started with a Big Bird headband I bought at a second hand store. I thought, “This will be easy!” I was wrong, this was complicated but well worth the time. I went to every Dollar store and Wal-mart in the area and rid them of their white feather boas (the amount … Read more
This Pee Wee’s Playhouse group Halloween costume was such fun! We had Pee Wee, Ms. Yvonne, the Geenie, Terri the Terridactyl, Captain, Carl, and the Cowboy- complete with CHAIRY!! Everyone was pretty easy. The two most difficult were Chairy and Terri. Chairy was adapted from an old wheel chair from a second hand store. I used … Read more
All of my friends call me “red” for Red Fraggle, so for Halloween a few years ago I decided to surprise them and show up. I didn’t like the store bought costume, so I set on a mission to match the costume myself. It was a challenge but ultimately accomplished. I found the orange shorts … Read more
The idea for this detailed Janice the Muppet costume (Guitarist for Electric Mayhem) started when SNL aired an episode hosted by Seth Rogen in 2007 with a Muppets skit. In the skit, Seth played Rowlf, and Maya Rudolph played Janice, among others… I immediately thought how much I love Janice’s personality, and how cool it … Read more
Pee-Wee Herman was an idea I had for Halloween in 2011. I was trying to think of something not only fun and clever, but also something that I could also pull off resembling. I’m pretty creative and go all out in anything I do, and Halloween is a perfect opportunity! Wasn’t planning on entering into … Read more
I’ve always made my own Halloween costumes and this past year my friends wanted to join in on the creativity (and by join in I mean they wanted me to make all the costumes for them as well) . I was excited to start, as I consider Halloween as “My Day”. I love the challenge … Read more
My 2yr old wanted to be Foofa for Halloween so I went out and bought an oversized pair of sweats, top and bottom. I used the top to make the long torso, adding elastic to the bottom so it would poof out, and the sleeves were for the hat and shoe covers. I used felt for … Read more
My friend and I randomly decided to do this Great Muppets Honeydew Bunsen and Beaker Couple Costume one year for Halloween. We wanted something funny, unique, and a little complicated. Professor Bunsen and Beaker both used lab coats from a medical supply store. Bunsen’s head was made out of paper mache wrapped around a beach ball. … Read more
My dad and I made this Yo Doody Doody! Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba costume for my son “Doody” in about 2 weeks! We used a bunch of different materials to construct the body and helmet and covered it all in yellow felt. I hand painted everything else including the eyes. It was nice to … Read more
I actually kind of regret this big comfy couch costume because now everything I do pales in comparison to it. I don’t really remember how or when I came up with the idea, but I remember I couldn’t find any good how-to’s on it. The most difficult part, though, was only the hat – I … Read more
