We do a lot of costume parties, so I am getting used to improvising costumes. Thrift stores come in very handy. For Frankenstein, just took an old blazer and zig-zagged the end of the sleeves. Old dress pants and solid shirt underneath. Painted my husbands hands and face green, a little black around the eyes. … Read more
The Robin costume was made from thrift store items. This involved many trips to countless stores to find the right items to fit my son. There were many tears shed with tired kids in the carts and lots of begging every time we past the toy section. It’s amazing how hard it was to find … Read more
This Homemade Joker Halloween Costume was pretty easy to put together. I found all of the clothing items (blouse, green vest, purple jacket, tie) at the local Goodwill.

My friends had little faith that a Ninja Turtle could actually be sexy, so I was left to the task of proving them wrong.
