Our boys have been so in to super heroes the last few months. The one and a half year old even runs around shooting pretend blasts out of his hands. I figured Batman and Robin would be very appropriate for their recent obsession. Plus, what little boy doesn’t dress like Batman at least once? And … Read more
A fan of 2 Face I was always intrigued by what made him become evil but Tommy Lee’s 2 Face acting and appearance was so terrible (in my opinion) that I lost interest in that character…until Christopher Nolan came along and basically turned all the characters from dumb and lame to dark and evil. As … Read more
My last minute costume hunt was on, October 31st, lunchtime. Nothing in mind, but looking for inspiration at Goodwill for my teen. They had the usual cheap costume capes, but I wanted something special. I found a vintage wedding gown and immediately decided on the costume, Bride of Frankenstein Costume. Add a $2.99 dust ruffle … Read more
These Batman Heroes and Villains costumes were a ton of work but so much fun to wear. We strolled down the streets downtown and people were shrieking and taking pictures like we were famous. The costume body and legs are made from foam for housing insulation and hotglue. The heads are made from cardboard concrete … Read more
Our caped-crusader Batman and Batgirl Couple Halloween Costumes started a month ago. We decided to home make these special costumes. I “Batman ” started to research on the internet for designs and color and what material would I have to use to come up with the greatest Batman and Batgirl costume ever (so I was … Read more
My inspiration for the Poison Ivy Halloween costume started when I was online shopping and stumbled upon a cheap green corset. Immediately I thought of Poison Ivy and thought that could be my costume. I also missed my red hair so it was a perfect excuse to re dye it. I then went on the hunt … Read more
My daughter wanted to be The Riddler so I decided to make one for her. Found the hat a Party City, blazer at a thrift store, cane we had to buy online. Also we had to dye the jacket a darker green and bought a fabric marker to make the ? marks. I then decided … Read more
It took me a couple times but I finally like my Batman Villain Two-Face and Poison Ivy Couple Costume that I came up with! I used a lingerie dress that I had when Victoria Secret had their big sale, leaves from Dollar store, fishnet tights (that I dyed green) and socks (that Ii dyed green). I … Read more
I decided to give the Riddler a try this Halloween. Wanted the Frank Gorshin Riddler vibe, but couldn’t decide which version to go with. Decided the suit version was easiest, and cheapest (barely). The hat lacks the ? because, well, it was just impossible to get a decent looking symbol on this fairly cheap felt … Read more
Wonder Woman: Started off with a red spangly tube top, with the ‘W’ cut out of gold fabric and hand stitched on. I tried it with duct tape at first, but it had no give and made my body look funny shaped. With the same gold fabric, a thick belt sized for my waist got … Read more
It was October 12, 2012 and I had survived my first real college history test (I’m a freshmen for the loudest and proudest fightin’ Texas Aggies! Whoop!). Biking the one mile back to my dorm, my phone rings. Brrrring! Brrring! Stepping off my bike and reaching for my phone (yeah, I’m not skilled like some … Read more
This bat-baby Halloween costume is pretty simple, just a black tutu dress. I made the bracelets from flannel, and the bat logo was made from felt and sewn on. I sewed on the bottom half of a yellow onesie as well, and made the cape from a very light weight black fabric and attached it … Read more
