Zakree is 5 years old and loves robots. He recently enrolled into a Lego robotics class at his school and I thought it was a neat idea to make him a “Z” bot for Halloween. It took me a week to sift through my favorite costumes on the web and develop my ideas. I knew … Read more
I decided to give the Riddler a try this Halloween. Wanted the Frank Gorshin Riddler vibe, but couldn’t decide which version to go with. Decided the suit version was easiest, and cheapest (barely). The hat lacks the ? because, well, it was just impossible to get a decent looking symbol on this fairly cheap felt … Read more
I love Breaking Bad, it is probably one of the best if not the best show out there right now. This is why I knew this year I had to be Walt White, the main character on the show, and what better way to be him then where the outfit he wears as a Meth … Read more
This baby Scarecrow costume was an extremely last minute costume! In total I think it took me about 45 minutes to make. And I made it Halloween morning! I already had a pair of overalls. I cut out some different colored pieces of felt in square and triangle patterns and sewed them onto the overalls … Read more
I always thought my son kind of looked like Chucky. SO I watched the original movie to see how I could make a Chucky Good Guys Doll costume. Realized that since my son was so little I wanted him to look more like the less scary version. So went to the Goodwill and Salvation Army … Read more

SO…I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went to Goodwill (oh how I love that place) and found a boy’s white shirt a few … Read more

I really love and enjoy making my own costume of Halloween for my children. But this Ninjago Minifigure Costume is one of my favorite but the longest and hardest one that I made. First I took a carton box and a little one for the legs and a plastic bowl for the head. After that I … Read more
My son Tyler wanted to be gross but not too gross. He wanted to be funny too. So we came up with the Roadkill Cleanup Guy, the poor guy whose job it is to clean up the dead animals on the side of the road. We bought a vest at WalMart and used an old … Read more
Our youngest son wanted to be Ash Ketchum from Pokemon for Halloween. I spent several days scouring costume ideas on the internet (even store bought ones!) before I came up with my version. Minor sewing skills are necessary, but nothing really fancy is required. Materials- 1 red trucker hat with a white front 1/2 yard … Read more
As with most schools today students can not dress up to celebrate Halloween. My son’s school offers “Dress like a book character day” for the kids to celebrate “Fall Festival day.” The rules are that they can’t be super heroes or princesses and they have to bring the book of their costume to school with … Read more
My husband and I decided to once again make our son’s Halloween costume this year. We had a lot of fun making his Hot Air Balloon Costume that Lights Up. We started with a basket and cut out the bottom. I then sewed some “globe” like shaped strips together to make the balloon cover. I added boning … Read more
