My husband and son are wearing the costumes. My son loves Lego and wanted to be one for Halloween, so we used some cardboard, Styrofoam, paint, and felt to create the costumes. The body was scaled up from measuring a mini figure and then cut out of cardboard, glued together, and then painted to replicate … Read more
My girlfriend Faith and I were thinking of a good costume to be this Halloween. The past two years we’ve done pretty creative couple costumes (Annie and Daddy Warbucks one year and Life of Pi the other, one of us the tiger, the other dressed as Pi), so this year we knew we had to … Read more
