We planned Candyland a YEAR in advance. It took a long time to make. Basically we bought things for our costumes whenever we found something, throughout the year. Princess Lolli: I was princess Lolli. I found the yellow dress at Goodwill. It was old. Long with a high neck & sleeves. I altered it. Cut … Read more
I love team costumes. Every year we try to find something better. This year, after a trip in Mexico I thought of El Dia de los Muertos. We first got inspired by painting, art works and skulls. Then, we visited second hand shops and found bustiers and skirts. We found at the 1 dollar shop plastic flowers and simply glued them … Read more
Amazingly I had the idea for our airline costume the day after Halloween last year….this year I’m not having as much luck! When coming up with a costume the main focus of the costume has to be able to work on my gigantic dog, Gallagher. If not, then we move on to something else. The … Read more
We booked a cruise for Halloween and the next obstacle was picking a group costume that was creative AND travel-friendly. We saw a few “four seasons” costumes online, but decided to step it up a bit. The guys weren’t ANY help with deciding. About a week before the cruise, they expressed how “unexcited” they were … Read more
We spent months trying to think of different/creative group costumes for Halloween. We wanted it to be original and fun! So, in the end we were set on 101 Dalmatians & Cruella Deville. Of course, we didn’t have 101 people to be dalmatians with us, so we settled for 3. We had plenty of ideas … Read more
We purchased 19 inch beach balls and paper mached with 3-4 layers for our Peanuts gang costume. Balls were then reinforced with Kilz and cardboard around the opening. We then spray painted with flesh color. This process took 2-3 days (took a little longer to smooth). Hair was yarn for Marcy, Peppermint Patty, and Sally. … Read more

I sure am glad I did! Everyone loved our Flintstone Family Costumes! We posted pictures on Facebook … Read more
I hand made all of these ducks – literally hand stitched everything as I do not own a sewing machine, so the hours seemed endless, but the results were worth it. Webby Vanderquack, Launchpad, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and of course none other than Uncle Scrooge. The weather was miserable out here in Canada, hence the … Read more
We sat around wondering what we should do as a group…began talking about the best old nicktoons shows of our childhood, and BOOM…Doug. Oh how we loved reminiscing about Doug and Patty’s love affair, but best of all, his daydreams of being Quail Man! So, we started going through shirts, grabbed tons of colors of … 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
