I had a lot of fun with these DIY Papa Smurf and Smurffette Halloween couple costume ideas! I couldn’t find a white summer dress in October, so I had to make it. I used white felt (that I had on hand), and sewed it up myself. I made the hats out of felt as well, … Read more
I was 7 months pregnant during the last Halloween season and was having a very hard time coming up with a “cool” idea for my husband and I (I am a Halloween fanatic and my husband is a great sport). We finally agreed on “a Homemade Homer and Marge Couple Costume ” so I got … Read more
Mr. Peanut was made out of burlap pieces that had been starched and put on a form. The pieces were then glued together and armholes cut. The bottom of the costume was held together with Velcro so that my son could slide it on and off over his black shirt and black pants. I made … Read more

I am Toby and I made the homemade C3P0 costume you see in the pictures. I started with a used 2-piece navy dress suit, and tried a few different types of spray paint.
