I made this costume to go to a cos-play meeting, and used it again at an 80’s-themed costume party. An idea for a costume based on a character like Ursula may sound complicated, and some parts of it were definitely hard for me to do myself, but the costume itself isn’t too complicated. A good … Read more
To make this Wall-E costume, I started with a box and added foam, a combination of furniture foam and sheet foam. For the head, I shaped a block of foam and added sheet foam for details. I printed the eyes out, glued onto sheet foam, then fit them inside two plastic magnifying glasses. I used … Read more
I made this Queen of Hearts costume in two days. I bought a few decks of cards. I bought a large red dress at a thrift shop. I bought a short black wig. I made the collar out of cardboard, a wire and three decks of cards. I also took Christmas lights that are battery … Read more
If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will! Keeping to my tradition of unique yet simple costumes, this year I went with none other than the evil villain Cruella Deville. You won’t find her in stores, she’s a rare gem. Out of the massive crowds I did not see one other Cruella and I’m … Read more
I thought it was going to be hard to explain how well this Cruella De Vil costume fit my daughters attitude, but then after seeing the picture I knew her facial expression said it all. She is the biggest diva and so very rotten, so who else better to be than Cruella De Vil? I … Read more
I kind of backed myself into a corner with this costume, since I will forever have trouble topping it! Being a heavy gal, when I watched The Little Mermaid (one of my favorites) with my kids (one 8 year old, and 6 year old triplets) when they were younger, they would identify me with Ursula, … Read more
All this started with me looking for a costume at the beginning of September. The costume had to be better than last year and I wanted to win a prize. I searched and searched and finally decided on Olaf from the movie Frozen (I love snowmen). I asked my boyfriend to help me and he agreed. So, that … Read more
I put a fair share of thought into what I wanted to do for my daughter’s Halloween costume this year. Her first Halloween she was only six months old so she couldn’t really experience Halloween as she could barely crawl. This year she is eighteen months old and running all over the place. So, I … Read more
My grandchildren love the movie Frozen so I made them Frozen costumes this year. Madison (Elsa) did not like the store costume, so I took it apart. It needed to be form fitting, longer, more sparkly with a longer train. Mason’s (Kristoff) costume was made from used this and thats by shopping at the Thrifty … Read more
Neurotic? No, no, no! I don’t like that word. I’d say, thorough. Yeah, let’s go with that. When I decided that I wanted to be Alice it was not even a question that there’d be extensive underpinnings. I’m nothing if not, well, thorough. First, a lady needs a corset. I make them professionally so it … Read more
My three year old loves Jake the Neverland Pirate so when I asked him what he wanted to dress up as for Halloween I was not surprised when he yelled ‘JAKE!’ He already had a store bought Jake costume which, for $20, was quite pitiful and my son had already stained it and wore it … Read more
This year I decided the costume theme for our family was going to be Disney’s Frozen. I was completely mesmerized by Frozen (like the rest of the world) and knew I had to make that dress. More than that, I felt like Elsa’s song ‘Let It Go’ helped me on a personal level as well … Read more
