This year, our 4-year-old wanted to be Clark Kent and so the quest began. However, after analyzing what we needed, it ended up being rather easy and the result was great. In the end, all we needed was a pair of plastic glasses and a hat, because we already had a suit (for church) and … Read more
This Homemade Mini Wonder Woman Costume was made with fabric purchased from Joann’s. It consists of a gold belt and headband with a red satin shirt and cotton stars shorts. I made it because it seemed like all of the store bought Wonder Woman costumes were too revealing for a 1 year old.
I’ve been obsessed with Wonder Woman since the age of 5 but I have never seen a costume that I was satisfied with. When I had a superhero themed birthday party I decided I finally had to be her but I did not want your everyday typical WW outfit. I love corsets and the Victorian … Read more
The inspiration for this Homemade Frankstein Wants His Mummy Costume came from a pregame show at an Altoona Curve Baseball game. A gentleman dressed as the Indian from the Village People puppeteered the five other V.P. characters to the song Y.M.C.A., using poles much like we used on our costume’s feet. The Indian was placed … Read more

Next was Two-Face, which drew inspiration from the animated series. Last year was Scarecrow, who I took ideas from the cartoons and movie. This … Read more
I found a basque in a underwear sale and dyed it green. Be careful though as man made fiber will not dye but it gave a good effect on the lace of the basque. I bought fake ivy leaves from a florist and individually sewed the ivy leaves to the front of the basque and … Read more
My son wanted to be a ‘Bad Guy’ and Two Face from Batman seemed like a fun one to create! We found a kid size blue suit jacket from a thrift store, along with some gray dress pants. I took fabric paint and painted half the jacket and half the pants. I went for the … Read more
This is the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman Costume I created. And although the process was lengthy and a bit annoying, it was still pretty enjoyable in the end because Selena Kyle makes her catwoman costume herself in the Batman Returns movie which made me even more like her which was pretty cool and I got a … Read more
For those who don’t know, Rorschach is the main anti-hero of the graphic novel “Watchmen” which is being adapted into a movie. Now I was one of the fools that thought the Joker would be an awesome costume, which it would be… if everyone else wasn’t doing the same thing. So with the movie coming … Read more
