We actually got this idea from this site but it’s always helpful to have more pictures to guide you in the costume making process. We basically bought some fabric and (since none of us can sew) super-glued Velcro on to the back to make tube top dresses and then cut out the logo and the … Read more

We love to drink Four Loko when we go out so we decided to get a little loco and had a homemade Four Loko group Halloween costume idea. We used a whole bunch of duct tape, spray paint and markers to create these colorful creations.
We decided to attend a Halloween event with a theme, a sushi trio! I’m the Tobiko Roll chef (Angel), there’s shrimp on rice (Kamaile) and an Ahi slice on rice (Gretchen)! The “backpack” rolls/rice and hats were all hand-made with bolts of black, pale pink and orange silky fabric bought at a closeout sale. They … Read more

My boys decided on a homemade Alvin and the Chipmunks group costume idea. We used the “old style” costumes. I searched the web and stores for 3 matching shirts of different colors. I found 3 mock turtlenecks in Men’s sizes (so the shirts would be oversized on my boys) in Red, Blue and Green. To … Read more

The most expensive thing here was the paint for the Mystery Machine. It costs about $45. Everything else came from a sale rack or thrift store, or things we already had. We felt it best to rent the Scooby costume for the kids sake vs. trying to make a Scooby costume on our own. It … Read more
We had great fun dreaming up this group Homemade Arby’s Family Halloween Costume Idea. I was trying to think of something minimal for my husband as he doesn’t like to dress up.
